I downloaded just the two packages you suggested, put them in my home directory, then issued the dpkg -i *.deb command, resulting in the following response: Selecting previously deselected package libc6-dev. (Reading database ... 95844 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking libc6-dev (from libc6-dev_2.8-20080505-0ubuntu7_i386.deb) ... Selecting previously deselected package linux-libc-dev.
