Hi,

I don't know if you simply can install the packages from 18.04, but if
so, you need to download the provided versions.

With e.g. Firefox take a look at the URLs, or just use
https://packages.ubuntu.com/ to see what versions are provided by the
pool.

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pygtk/ doesn't provide
2.24.0-6.

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/fslint/ doesn't provide
2.46-1.

apt-get does not install from a local path, while dpkg or gdebi or
apt do so.

You got informative error messages, didn't you?

Try downloading the available versions and try to install from the
local path using an appropriate command.

Regards,
Ralf
