This doesn't work at all for me, either. View is fine, but hitting
Enter does nothing. Lindsay, if you hit Ctrl-o after such an operation 
you should be able to see what the shell returned. When I hit enter on 
binutils_2.8.1-2.deb, for example, I get 

./binutils_2.8.1-2.deb: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `!<arch>'
./binutils_2.8.1-2.deb: line 1: `!<arch>'
