As far as I was concerned this bug was already fixed in:-
0.52.1-1ubuntu1
in the main repo, so I can't see any need for this in proposed now.
But just to answer your question anyway, YES:-
0.52.2-1ubunti1-18.04.1
also fixes the issue (though now it would likely be more accurate to say
it
Run:
gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/gdebi.desktop
make it read:-
[Desktop Entry]
Name=GDebi Package Installer
GenericName=Package Installer
Comment=Install and view software packages
Exec=gksudo gdebi-gtk %f
Icon=gnome-mime-application-x-deb
Terminal=false
Type=Application
If you edit the:-
/usr/share/applications/gdebi.desktop
launchers 'Exec' line to:-
Exec=gksudo gdebi-gtk %f
So gdebi-gtk prompts for the password BEFORE loading, it works perfectly
.. maybe a pkexec issue ?

I may have gone overboard with libvte-2.91-0-udeb which isn't a default
package so is unnecessary.

Yep, definitely something in vte 0.52 because downgrading to 0.48 by
installing these packages from artful:-
gir1.2-vte-2.91_0.48.4-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
libvte-2.91-0_0.48.4-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
libvte-2.91-0-udeb_0.48.4-0ubuntu1_amd64.udeb
libvte-2.91-common_0.48.4-0ubuntu1_all.deb
fixes the issue.
No it's not that clicking the .deb doesn't fire up gdebi-gtk (it does),
it's that gdebi-gtk crashes whilst installing the .deb throwing the
error:-
dpkg: error: unable to read filedescriptor flags for : Bad file descriptor
Changing (or dropping) the %f option makes no difference :(

When using gdebi-gtk to install a .deb the install fails with the
message:-
dpkg: error: unable to read filedescriptor flags for : Bad file descriptor
This only occurs via the gdebi-gtk GUI front end, packages install perfectly if
done via the CLI with:
