Hello,
I still cannot install .deb packages in Software under Ubuntu 17.04,
even after enabling zesty-proposed and updating and restarting my
computer this morning. I also tried installing gconf2 as suggested by
other posts in this topic. I tested trying to install the .deb package
opera-stable (opera-stable_44.0.2510.1449_amd64.deb downloaded from
their site). The install button reacts to me clicking it but nothing
else happens, no longer how long I wait (waited at least 15 minutes). I
also tried the instructions in post #8 saying to invoke gnome-software
from the command line using an absolute path for the file: gnome-
software --local-filename=/home/sam/Downloads/opera-
stable_44.0.2510.1449_amd64.deb. Please advise me as to what else I
should try. Also, this is on a fresh install of Ubuntu; the only thing
I did before trying to install this package is configure my system
settings the way I wanted everything.
Thanks,
Sam
