I found a plot twist: the package doesn't install if in the same path as user.
So: # both user and package are in ~/Downloads. Don't work marcos@marcos-laptop:~/Downloads$ gnome-software --local-filename=google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb # user is in one directory and package are in a subdirectory. Works marcos@marcos-laptop:~$ gnome-software --local-filename=Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb # same as before, but indicating the full path using til. Don't work marcos@marcos-laptop:~$ gnome-software --local-filename=~/Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb # same as before, but indicating the full path normally. Works marcos@marcos-laptop:~$ gnome-software --local-filename=/home/marcos/Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb # different paths, but indicating the relative path using two dots. Don't work marcos@marcos-laptop:~/Downloads$ gnome-software --local-filename=../google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb # same path, but indicating the relative path using one dot. Works marcos@marcos-laptop:~$ gnome-software --local-filename=./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb May be you could understand I can't understand. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1672424 Title: Cannot install Debian files outside of the repositories To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1672424/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
