I have the same problem: gdebi-gtk returns the following error when attempting to install a package:

dpkg: unable to read filedescriptor flags for <package status and progress file descriptor>: Bad file descriptor

My console output:

Using gdebi on the console or dpkg -i seems to work without issues.
