Re: Package Install Problem



Hi!

How about using gdebi?

DESCRIPTION
gdebi  lets you install local deb packages resolving and installing its
dependencies. apt does the  same,  but  only  for  remote  (http,  ftp)
located packages.

Cheers

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
