Hi mlg7, and thanks for your report. I cannot reproduce this issue using
the latest version of Ubuntu Software Center in Precise, version
5.2.2.2. The "Install" button is correctly grayed out after clicking it
when installing a deb file.
Would you please retry with this latest version and let us know if it's
working for you now?
Many thanks for your help!

Title:
"Install" button misbehaves in "ubuntu software center"
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
1. Go to opera.com, download the .deb
2. click on the downloaded file, "ubuntu software center" pops up
3. wait while it pops up, it's veeeeery slooooow and boring
4. click the install button
5. the installation process begins, it's boring, switch to some other window
or have a cup of tea.
6. return to the "ubuntu software center" window; try to remember if you
really did press the install button
What I expected to happen:
A clear indication that the package has been installed, e.g. the install
button is grayed or "install" is changed to "uninstall"
What happens instead:
I see the original "install" button. NOT grayed.
BUT when I click that button the 2nd time, it becomes grayed.
Unfortunately, it does not look like the software is already
installed, it looks like the button did not work. (I had to check the
applications menu to see it's really installed.)
