# dpkg-deb -X dpkg-deb: error: --vextract needs a .deb filename argument Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files; Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages. # dpkg-deb -X /var/cache/apt/archives/googleearth-package_1.0.0_all.deb dpkg-deb: error: --vextract needs a target directory. Perhaps you should be using dpkg --install ? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
