[m.alfaeko at gmail.com]

Package: gdebi
Version: 0.9.5.7+nmu3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I would want to report a bug in package gdebi. When i attempt to install some package
with gdebi it just closes without displaing any error. I found a error message in
.xsession-errors saying "Refusing to render service to dead parents.". Tried on my host
system with debian 10 and not modified debian 10 in vbox.

Gdebi is not usable.
