Does anyone have any ideas what the hell is going on here? Thanks, Robert
apt-get needs AFAIK a Contents-file. It looks to me like you've downloaded the files and then try to install it with apt-get. So you'll have to tell apt-get where the files are.I think you'll have to create a Contents.gz file in your download directory, add the path to your sources.list and run apt-get update. The more easier way to install the packages is to use dpkg.
