But if you start with one of them and try to install it (i.e. dpkg -i alsa-utils_0.5.9-1.deb), it'll either install or tell you which package you need to install first -- so you install that one first! It takes a little patience, but will hopefully work.
You might also try pointing dselect to the unstable branch and going that route so it'll take care of the dependencies for you, but this might cause dselect to try to install a whole bunch of other files -- I don't remember if I ever tried this, but this theoretically is the easiest approach. Good luck, David Bellows
