I'm not sure how well this will pertain to you, but if it were me, I'd just
run the apt-get update, and then apt-get install your_package_here, and let
it do it's thing. If you've already downloaded it and it matches what's on
the source you're retrieving it from, it won't download again. (when you
apt-get stuff, it usually keeps it in /var/cache/apt/archives, so that's
probably where it's looking for it) So, either that, or like Mr. Zimmerman
said, and use dpkg if it's in a non-standard location.
Hope it helps,
Jeremy
