What did you mean by "go to the main/base and later to the main/lib"?
If you meant subdirectories, there was none in
/var/cache/apt/archives.
Anyway, I did what you said a few times, but even though bluefish was
upgraded and is working (well, it only crashed when I called
weblint)... dpkg still complains about:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libstdc++2.10-dev:
libstdc++2.10-dev depends on g++ (>= 2.91.58); however:
Package g++ is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing libstdc++2.10-dev (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
gcc_1%3a2.95.2-7_i386.deb
g++
g77
gobjc
libstdc++2.10-dev
(?)
Maybe upgrading to potato from the state it is now could be a good idea (?)
