Debian dpkg problem

[pankajit09]

Hello,

I am installing a package by the following command -->

dpkg -i firefox/swiftfox_2.0-1_pentium4.deb


But I am getting errors -->

(Reading database ... 104014 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace swiftfox 2.0-1 (using .../swiftfox_2.0-1_pentium4.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement swiftfox ...

This looks like two packages aren't installed, and the others listed need to be upgraded. I'm not too familiar with dpkg, but if you use:

sudo apt-get update
 

that should update the installed packages, and then you can run

sudo apt-cache search swiftfox
 

to find the version in the Debian repository, and then

apt-get install swiftfox****
 

to install the correct program where **** is the version, or replace the whole thing by what apt-cache search returned.
