I am trying to install a .deb package from the local hard drive using
dpkg -i <package>.deb.
It appears to read the package and then gives me a list of dependencies
that are missing and that the package cannot be installed.
The problem is that I am trying to move over to Debian from Fedora so am
a NEWBIE in Debian.
Is there a command in either dpkg or apt-get that will load a .deb from
the local hard drive and resolve the dependencies? I cannot find it in
any man package or document, possibly due to being new to this structure.
Thanks
