Here is everything it said after I clicked on install:
dpkg -i '//home/w5uc/tmp/linrad.deb' ;echo RESULT=$?
Selecting previously deselected package linrad.
(Reading database ... 109777 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking linrad (from //home/w5uc/tmp/linrad.deb) ...
Setting up linrad (01-2) ...
RESULT=0

What's the output of
dpkg -s linrad
(if no result, try
dpkg -s linrad.deb)
?
Did you really type: dpkg -i '//home/w5uc/tmp/linrad.deb' ;echo RESULT=$?
All that's necessary is to copy the damn thing to your own directory and do what I said! Or is this the output from dpkg as filtered by KPackage?
What happens if you type
linrad
in a konsole?
-
Nope, I didn't type that. I never got that far.
I didn't have to do the root password or anyhing.
I got a window with Linrad at the bottom of a tree. I highlighted Linrad, and clicked on Install at the bottom, and away we went. It thought a bit and spit out all of that stuff. I'll go ry the new stuff.

if I go to the konsole and type:
dpkg -1 linrad.deb it yields:
w5uc@SHOP:~$ dpkg -1 linrad.deb
dpkg: unknown option -1

Type dpkg --licence for copyright licence and lack of warranty (GNU GPL)[*].
Options marked[*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' !
w5uc@SHOP:~$

Two bits of info. I don't have the foggiest notion how I extracted those .deb files, and I say those because originally linrad.deb has another name. I tried something and it said I couldn't do that and to rename the file, so I did. Do we possibly need to go back to the un-renamed file and try?
-
Nope, that didn't work. Same output as with linrad.deb

Yes. But first, you're reading
dpkg -i linrad.deb
as
dpkg -1 linrad.deb
i is for "install"
