W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems


I installed my debian from cd and it was iso file and my kernel version is 2.6.18-5-686 . but I don’t have connectivity with net with debian OS
. I am using windows for net connection , as debian software can be install directly from
Net with I can not do because I don’t have net connection. So I have to do it by manually .. but when ever im trying to install by apt-get install package name command I got the same error massage ..


Will u please help me solve this problem ….

you can download it from here
Debian -- Details of package ppp in etch
take note of the dependancies since you are manually installing them
run the following command to find out which of the dependancies you already have.

dpkg -l pkg

after you have downloaded the file and transferred it to your debian box

dpkg -i packagename.deb

Thanks for the suggestion . in this site there are lots of depended . which one
particularly i need ?

[jledhead]

there is a key explaining that. the red dot means required. so any listed that have a red dot are required.

once your network is working though, apt will take care of the dependancies and download and install when needed.
