That installs $package with no difficulty.  Good!  Thanks!

My understanding is that "apt-offline install <filename>.bundle" 
upgrades the cache of data needed for the upgrade but doesn't 
perform the upgrade.  

"apt-get install <package>" upgrades a specific package.
To upgrade all packages available from the bundle I tried "apt-get install *".  
* is expanded to files and directories in the current directory. 
Definitely not the intention. 

"apt-get upgrade" attempts to access network sources
which also is not the intention.  How is an upgrade 
from the local cache invoked?

Thanks,              ... P.
