apt-get install wants a package name, which is not the same as a file
name.  You seem to be trying to give it some variation of a
path/filename.

You can do things like apt-get install thing/woody which installs
package thing from the woody release, which semi-explains your error
message.

Make sure you have something sensible in /etc/apt/sources.list, eg:

deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ woody main non-free contrib

then do

apt-get update
apt-get install <pkgname>


Alternatively, if you have the .deb file, you can try 

dpkg -i <filename>
