Issue with GDebi "Software index is broken"

Practically fresh install, both from Devuan (Chimaera) and GDebi, and when opening the latter it says (Taken from internet, my system locale is es_VE):

Software index is broken

This is a major failure of your software management system.    
Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file  
permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and    
reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and   
'sudo apt-get install -f'.

Synaptic does not find broken packages and I checked sources.list and (with my newbie knowledge) I think it's ok. And sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install -f returns without issues.

Sorry if there is bad english, it is not my native language.

Did you try apt --fix-broken install?
