Why did you use apt-get install *.deb in the DEBS subdirectory? What you
should have used was
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
This will install all the *.deb files in the directory.
I am using Ubuntu Gutzy after having upgraded from Feisty. So, I also
use the DEB package from OOo. In my limited experience with Debian
distributions, I have found that apt-get goes to the internet to
download .deb files and install them. Perhaps, I am wrong.
