I will run it again and copy the error message.

Huh ... I downloaded it from the Debian Jessie repositories. I will look into 
it. I need some kind of solution like it, so that I can install when I don't 
have Internet access.

Actually, my ideal solution would be to use flash drives as my personal 
repositories. (That way, I don't keep wasting DVDs and CDs.) Somehow or 
other, I got that trick working with Kubuntu Hardy many years. I just set up 
the address of the drive with the prefix "deb" or "deb-src" and it worked; 
but now I can't get it going. 

I downloaded the DVD images of Debian packages, but apt will not recognize 
them when I try to add them as sources.
