New app center does not load .deb packages

  • 772

The bug is in the title. When I open a .deb package, the App Center shows a loading icon:

Loading error

I have left it loading like this for more than two hours, but to no avail.

Is this a bug in Ubuntu, or unique with the app center on my computer? Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this? Maybe some other application that will manage apps?

Thank you in advance.

    The new Ubuntu App Center does not currently have the capability to install local .deb files. There is an issue open about this, and the functionality may eventually be added. In the meanwhile, you can use apt in the terminal to install the .deb

    sudo apt install /path/to/package.deb

    Or you can install a graphical .deb installer like gdebi.
