Re: Using apt with downloaded deb
Copy all of the .debs to /var/cache/apt/archives/. Don't make
any subdirectories there, just shove everything in that
directory. Then, configure dselect to use the APT method
(install the apt package from your archives directory
manually with "dpkg -i <apt package filename>" if needed).
Configure APT to download directly from the mirror that
you got your packages from. If a package is already in
/var/cache/apt/archives, it won't be downloaded again,
but APT will get any packages you don't have that it
needs.
