I stand corrected. But almost all references to it, including aptitude show and its name, refer to its graphical user interface. > Simple tool to install deb files - **GNOME GUI** > ~/Downloads # gdebi gnome-earth-stable_current_i386.deb I also thought that the package you were trying to install was called "googleearth". It says so in the subject line. Ah! A search suggests that you did actually mean googleearth not gnome-earth. "gdebi is a simple tool to install deb files. It lets you install local deb packages resolving and installing. its dependencies. apt does the same, but only for remote (http, ftp) located package repositories. It has a graphical user interface but can also be used in your terminal." I had not gathered the last few words. It is obviously a very useful tool. But it raises another question. Why is it called "GNOME GUI", which it does seem to be consistently, if it is neither a Gnome tool nor a GUI one?? I've only just gravitated to apt-get -f install. I obviously need to gravitate to gdebi. Lisi
