(In reply to Werner Tietz from comment #4) > the command should be: > > sudo dpkg -i *.deb > > to install ALL the …deb -files! Hey. The "<packname>.deb" was used as placeholder. After downloading the package, I had renamed it into "*.deb". As for the verification (after extracting the donloaded DEB package), I tryed both: - using the command like you gave it - usung the "for" loop
