    Everyone stayed silent about this script (except Xecure), but even so, I want to let you know that its latest version can always be downloaded here: http://gitlab.com/antix-contribs/contribs-goodies

    The latest version added error handling, when something goes wrong when trying to install a .deb package, a yad warning window pops up, and the user can read the output on the terminal [in my tests this happened only once, when trying to install a .deb I knew probably was not compatible with antiX 19.X].

    I’ve been playing with the idea of adding a funcionality to translate the description of the .deb file to the system’s language, that is doable, but it requires internet access and adds a dependency (the “trans” command).
    For now, unless someone finds a bug that I missed, the script is ready for production use, and it can probably replace the gdebi GUI to install/uninstall .deb files directly from a file manager.

    P.
