While trying to do the change, I realised that gdebi doesn't do multiple deb file installations at a time. That's an important feature that "dpkg -i" has. Is it even worth running multiple gdebi commands for this (e.g. "gdebi pkg1.deb; gdebi pkg2.deb")? I'm not sure because that's a heck of a lot o

Does the command line use of gdebi exclude popups appearing? Seems like a good idea, but I just wonder what changes occur to interactions with wajig when we use gdebi instead of the current install method? If none, and we automatically get dependencies when manually installing a .deb, then yes - we
