At the end-user level I think Debian has a logical flaw.
It presumes that all software is always available in a repository
(be it FOSS/proprietary, trusted/untrusted, whatever distinction).
Yesterday I found a program (in beta) whose functional writeup was
interesting. In the latest revision a deb package was added to the
previously available formats. I downloaded the package with my
Windows machine (it was available at the instant). I now have a deb
package on a flash drive which Debian can read but has no built-in
convenient method to install.
The usual way to install if a .deb is available on a third party
repository--here a package not available in Squeeze:
# get new source
wget
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/postfixadmin/postfixadmin_2.3.5-2_all.deb
# install
dpkg -i postfixadmin_2.3.5-2_all.deb
IMHO in a graphical desktop environment like Gnome2 it is also
possible to double click on yourpacke.deb in the file browser but I
like the console more for such activities.
