Bug Description
[Impact]
* On Ubuntu, when the software-center is invoked to install a package from a local .deb file, the Install-Button is deactivated while not connected to the internet.
[Regression Potential]
I dont see any regression potential here. This has been merged into upstream.
[Test Case]
1. Download .deb file ( apt-get download mpg123)
2. Disconnect from internet
3. Attempt to install .deb by double-clicking
a. Actual Results: the 'install' button is greyed out and not clickable.
b. Expected Results: should be able to install normally.
[Other Info]
Known Workaround: Install with dpkg from CLI

I have verified that this bug still exists in Software Center version 5.2.2.2, Ubuntu 12.04. I've set it to triaged as we have enough information now to begin work on the fix.
Many thanks!
