[Bug 930106] Re: Software Updater Fails to download a package

[Howard Brodale]

I did download those firefox files via my browser but, I can't get
Ubuntu's Software Manager nor its Update Manager to "take" them.  With
Mandriva Linux, its RPM Manager does effortlessly take any such update
files downloaded from the web.   I have learned to rely on or to just
use RPM only to do such things.  Installing software on my own without
RPM doesn't work.  I bet its the same with Ubuntu also where I must use
its software installing system as evidenced by the db triggers being
processed.

 As such, opening the file firefox-mozilla-build_10.0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
(which I downloaded) with Software Manager does not work.  It just hangs
with the processing animation, for hours.  Update Manager has no way to
read from a downloaded file but just archive mirror sites of which I
tried specifying that
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt/pool/main/f
/firefox-mozilla-build/firefox-mozilla-
build_10.0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb?r=&ts=1329168082&use_mirror=superb-sea2
site as an APT Deb site but, it won't accept it as such (OK set to
sensitive) or it tries to process it but, gets the same internet
connectivity error.

 So, this update is unprocessable now. Unless theres a way to get the
software management of Ubuntu to use it.  I have noticed here that I can
issue sudo get-apt package names, on Ubuntu.  Is there a package name
for this update that I can use with sudo?
