- gdebi is a simple to tool install local deb files or install the
- build-dependencies of .dsc files.
-
- It will use apt to figure if the dependencies can be satified and
- what additonal software is required.
-
- It needs a vte and python-apt from ubuntu/dapper to work. vte needs
- a patch to make it not close file descriptors, python-apt needs some
- new features.
-
- It will need root to install the deb, and it has a non-root non-root
- bit to view the deb and a "non-interactive" bit that is exec()ed with
- gksudo.
