Title:
.deb installation fails silently
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
1. Download the LibreOffice 5.2.0 x64 .deb package -
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/?type=deb-x86_64&version=5.2.0&lang=en-US
2. Unpack
3. Open the DEBS directory in Files
4. Right click on libreofficedev5.2-calc_5.2.0.0.beta1-1_amd64.deb and choose
"Open With Software Install"
The progress bar starts and after a few seconds, resets, as if the
install was never attempted. No errors are presented to the user.
This installation method is recommended by LibreOffice at
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Install/Linux#Graphic_Installation_.28Preferred_Way.29,
but I've found other .debs that fail as well.
Is it a dependencies problem, as explained at
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/71044/lo-52-beta-wont-install-
on-linux-x64/? In that case, the should be SOME indication to as user
as to what's going on, and ideally the dependencies should be
installed automatically or after prompting the user.
