    I am really lost.....I am trying to install AIM but nothing is happening......I downloaded the linux version of aim from the web to my desktop....I am in that terminal program and in the su root . I have typed apt-get install /home/tyler/Desktop/aim_1.5.286-2_i386.deb


    debian:~# apt-get install /home/tyler/Desktop/aim_1.5.286-2_i386.deb
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree... Done
    E: Couldn't find package
