cd /usr/share/applications
cp gdebi.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
nano ~/.local/share/applications/gdebi.desktop
Replaced "Exec = gdebi-gtk% f" with "Exec = gksu gdebi-gtk% f"
Then saved the changes: "Ctrl + O" - "Enter" - "Ctrl + X"

There is another option in the right click menu to install deb files, NOT gdebi. Look further down. Install Deb files, use that.
Or start gdebi first, THEN navigate to the file you want to install. That does work.

One word of caution: don't install just any random deb package found on the web , but only those coming from an MX repository or one that claims strict compatibility with the underlying debian stable release (debian 11 "bullseye" in the case of MX21)
