but the file is right there
Does anyone have any ideas what the hell is going on here?
Thanks,

apt-get needs AFAIK a Contents-file. It looks to me like you've downloaded the
files and then try to install it with apt-get. So you'll have to tell apt-get
where the files are.
I think you'll have to create a Contents.gz file in your download
directory, add the path to your sources.list and run apt-get update.
The more easier way to install the packages is to use dpkg.
