Hi,

Just try to use apt and observed it is missing something (at least this
is how I see this): it doesn't have a [scan] facility. In other words,
it will not let you install packages if you do not have a Packages.gz
file and if the files aren't placed where Packagez.gz says. Do am I
missing something here ? Because in this way you are forbiden to take
some .deb files from the net, put them in a local directory and use
dselect to install them !
