Public bug reported: I recently installed Lubuntu Next 17.10.
I have been using Flashpeak-SlimJet as a browser, but it is not in the repositories, so I download the .deb file and use gdebi to install it. The version of gdebi that Lubuntu Next installs is gdebi-kde, presumably because LN uses Qt. The first problem was that the .desktop file for gdebi-kde has the line "OnlyShowIn KDE;Qt" (or similar). I tried to alter the line, but was unsure of syntax, and nothing appeared in the menu until I removed the line entirely. The next problem was that whether trying to bring up the program from the menu or double-clicking on the .deb file or using the context menu, nothing ever happened. When running from the terminal, I got the following result: "scott@scott-Asus-M2N68-AM-PLUS:~$ gdebi-kde Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/gdebi-kde", line 26, in <module> from PyKDE4.kdecore import KCmdLineArgs, KAboutData, KCmdLineOptions, ki18n File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyKDE4/__init__.py", line 1, in <module> import sys,DLFCN ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'DLFCN' " I don't know if that is the only module missing, or if it just stops at the first error.
