Package: gdebi-core
Version: 0.3.8
Severity: wishlist
According to the manpage (an experiment), gdebi only accepts a single
file as argument. Thus
for i in *_all.deb *_i386.deb; do
do gdebi $i
done
works, but
gdebi *_all.deb *_i386.deb
does not -- all but the first file is silently ignored.
Not only would it be convenient for gdebi to be variadic in this way,
an intelligent gdebi would allow dependencies to be fulfilled in the
correct order. That is, if
for i in *.deb; do gdebi $i; done
expanded to
gdebi festvox-arctic-awb_all.deb
gdebi mbrola_i386.deb
Then the first gdebi would (presumably) crash because
festvox-arctic-awb_all.deb depends on mbrola_i386.deb. Specifying
both at once would (hopefully) allow gdebi/dpkg to "know" to install
mbrola first.
