[Lilug] Question about roll-your-own deb packages

[Kenneth Downs]

We've got a debian package here for Andromeda that's just about ready to go.

But we do have a strange issue, we can't figure out which command-line 
tool to use.  If we double-click on the deb package in Nautilus, Gnome's 
GDeb program comes up and does everything.

However, neither of these seems to work;

$ sudo apititude install filename.deb
$ sudo apt-get insall filename.deb

Apparently dpkg is not meant for this, it does not go after dependencies.

Any ideas?
