Documenting how I installed those packages, for the next person or in case anything goes wrong: Downloaded them all with: $ for f in `wget -O - http://listaller.tenstral.net/stuff/packagekit-deb/ | sed -n 's/.*href="\([a-z].*\)".*/\1/p'`; do wget http://listaller.tenstral.net/stuff/packagekit-deb/$f; done After a couple false starts (trying to install them one at a time with "dpkg -i" and getting dependency warnings), settled on this command to install the package files (all existing in the current directory): $ sudo dpkg -i --auto-deconfigure -R ./ I ran that 2-3 times until it stopped giving warnings about missing dependencies to the files I was trying to install. Then I installed, from the repos, the two missing dependencies: libglib2.0-dev and smartpm-core Then re-ran the dpkg command above, and got no errors (except some "Unknown media type" messages while "Processing triggers for shared-mime-info", that I assume are safe to ignore). > If you experience this malfunction frequently, if it works good in > less than a week would also be a valuable information.
