apt-get install wants a package name, which is not the same as a file name. You seem to be trying to give it some variation of a path/filename. You can do things like apt-get install thing/woody which installs package thing from the woody release, which semi-explains your error message. Make sure you have something sensible in /etc/apt/sources.list, eg: deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ woody main non-free contrib then do apt-get update apt-get install <pkgname> Alternatively, if you have the .deb file, you can try dpkg -i <filename> Richard
