An "Install additional software?" alert appears, asking "Do you want to install package 'abiword'?". What should happen: - 3. From <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareStore#Launching%20from%20apt:%20links>: "Whenever an apt: link is opened, gdebi should try to launch the Software Store to the requested package. If the Store returns an error (for example, because the package is not a visible application, or it is an application in Universe when the Store is set not to show applications from Universe), gdebi should fall back to displaying its own interface as usual." + 2. From <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#apturl>: "Opening an apt: URL should launch the Ubuntu Software Center directly to the appropriate screen; or if it is already open, focus it, wait until any currently-open alerts or dialogs have been dismissed, and then switch to the appropriate screen." It might be necessary to fix bug 426211 before fixing this bug.
