I don't know if there's such a command, but you simply could copy the dependencies shown by dpkg -i and then run apt-get update to download the package lists from the repositories, it dosn't upgrade packages and then apt-get install PASTED_PACKAGES_YOU_COPIED. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
