According to the tutorial I read at the Debian site what I'm doing should work but it's not.

According to the instructions, first apt-get update, which I've done.

Then you should be able to install the package you want with apt-cache search <packagename> and then apt-get install <packagename>. When I do this I get the error message dependencies not met. Same thing with apt-cdrom, using the Debian Woody cds.

The turorials all say APT downloads the dependencies and installs them for you. That's not what's happening.

When I look at the new packages list using Kpackage and I try to install it I get "no such file or directory". Huh? It found it when I apt-updated but it can't when I want to install it?

How do I make this work?
