Is gdebi broken?

I installed gdebi on Devuan Chimaera (converted from Debian Bullseye) using

apt install gdebi-core

Whenever I try to install a .deb package, I get the following error:

# gdebi
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gdebi", line 38, in <module>
    from GDebi.GDebiCli import GDebiCli
  File "/usr/share/gdebi/GDebi/GDebiCli.py", line 24, in <module>
    import apt
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'apt'

Re: Is gdebi broken?

I had trouble with gdebi some time ago, they said they were fixing it. But I found I could cd into the directory where the deb file was and just use apt to achieve the same result.

# apt ./<the full deb file name>
