2013-05-26 19:42:51 Matthew Paul Thomas description Binary package hint: software-center It's not bug but a request. I know that you may open DEB packages if Ubuntu Software Center is associated to the DEB mime type, just with a double-click on the file. However, I believe that it would be desirable to have such option from the Software Center menu itself.
