Simple tool to install deb files
gdebi lets you install local deb packages resolving and installing
its dependencies. apt does the same, but only for remote (http, ftp)
located packages.
It has a graphical user interface but can be used in your terminal.

warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning)
Usage: /usr/bin/gdebi [package.deb]
To use the graphical user interface, right-click
on a '.deb' software package in the file browser
and select: Open with 'GDebi Package Installer'.
