I'm having an issue with gdebi, where it launches and loads the package I'm trying to install just fine, but whenever I click on "Install" it crashes and quits. I don't mind having to use dpkg -i while I'm sorting this out, the gui method is just easier when I don't really want to bother with the terminal approach.
I've already tried apt remove, apt autoremove and apt purge but each time I reinstall it, the same crash keeps occurring.
I'd be fine if you want to just suggest using another extremely lightweight gui pm installer, but I really don't want to launch the heavyweights like gnome-software, or appgrid.
If you'd like more info, please tell me what to copy/paste so you can see the error logs.
Anyone have any suggestions for me?
Thanks a lot.

This started happening to me in November also.
But GDebi is not actually crashing. If you run it in a terminal:
gdebi /path/to/.deb
It terminates with "must be root to install software packages"
Try:
sudo gdebi /path/to/.deb
I am accustomed to right-click .deb "Install with GDebi", but this currently does not work.
