Bug description:
[Impact]
* On Ubuntu, when the software-center is invoked to install a package from a
local .deb file, the Install-Button is deactivated while not connected to the
internet.
[Regression Potential]
I dont see any regression potential here. This has been merged into upstream.
[Test Case]
1. Download .deb file ( apt-get download mpg123)
2. Disconnect from internet
3. Attempt to install .deb by double-clicking
a. Actual Results: the 'install' button is greyed out and not clickable.
b. Expected Results: should be able to install normally.
[Other Info]
Known Workaround: Install with dpkg from CLI
