I am trying to follow this tutorial on how to download packages offline but there is a caveat; you have to already have Synaptic install on the offline device. My goal is to install wine. I am having a hard time with my WIFI on my new computer. It works fine on Windows, not so much on the Ubuntu side. At any rate, I bought a USB for detecting WIFI in hopes that this will help but it is a Windows program. I have managed to install the programs on the computer, I just don't know what do do make that productive.[
]I tried putting all of the files in here:
mv *.deb synaptic.sh /var/cache/apt/archives
I also changed directories at this point.
cd /var/cache/apt/archives
But I ran into trouble when I attempted to install the program like so.
sudo apt install synaptic
At the very top it reads that synaptic is installed, but there are no dependencies.
1 How do I finish the job? Thank you in advance.
