For example, this is how I installed the .deb for the Opera web browser.

I'm not sure, and I don't like to ruin a good working system.
I always said: If you don't know what you are doing, don't do it....
The W error from Synaptic indicates that I didn't refresh but if I do I get something like :
file:/root/debs/Packages.gz: File not found
The problem for me is the following :
Which files does apt expect in debs - the package I assume and Packages.gz?
and how do I make the GZ file, I assume with dpkg, but I saw 2 versions of the same manual from apt, but they had a different text about this item( one talkes about Packages.gz the other about Sources.gz), and that is confusing me. I like to get it clear.
