Hi Lawrence,
I found there was already a .deb file. So I thought, fine, I don’t need this “googleearth-package”, I can just download that and install it.
Did you use gdebi to install it? $ apt-cache search gdebi gdebi-core - simple tool to install deb files gdebi - simple tool to view and install deb files - GNOME GUI gdebi-kde - simple tool to install deb files - KDE GUI GDEBI(1) General Commands Manual GDEBI(1) NAME gdebi - Simple tool to install deb files SYNOPSIS gdebi [package.deb]... DESCRIPTION gdebi lets you install local deb packages resolving and installing its dependencies. apt does the same, but only for remote (http, ftp) located packages. It can also resolve build-depends of debian/control files. https://launchpad.net/gdebi https://packages.debian.org/sid/gdebi <https://packages.debian.org/sid/gdebi> cheers, Ian.
