googleearth-package (jessie)

Using synaptic, I installed "googleearth-package". But I cannot figure out what to do with it. A search with google turned up one article, dated 2015-02-14 titled "Installing Google Earth on 64 bit Debian Jessie", but the article does not mention "googleearth-package". I looked at the QA page

googleearth-package (jessie)

Progress report: I followed the tutorial http://sparkylinux.org/forum/index.php?topic=2535.0. dpkg reported two missing dependencies, namely, libfreeimage3 and lsb-core. To install them, synaptic needed to uninstall googleearth. After installing the two packages, I executed the dpkg -i command
