RE: How to find package name of a *.deb file?

["Weidong Li" <wli@marvell.com>]

Thanks for the help!  Now I have another problem.  I have file
iceweasel_3.0.5-1_armel.deb.  dpkg gives the following info:

$ dpkg --info iceweasel_3.0.5-1_armel.deb
 ... 
 Package: iceweasel
 Version: 3.0.5-1
 Architecture: armel
 ...

Then when I tried to download it as follows:

sudo apt-get -d install iceweasel=3.0.5-1

It downloads files and gives me dependency package lists.  However, it
does not download the correct versions of dependency packages - it
downloads versions for x386 architecture, not for armel. 

What should I do to let apt-get know that all my packages should be for
armel, not for x386?  Or should I use a different tool to get the
packages?
