Just dpkg -i it after downloading... but before installing this please switch back to esd and test if the problem is still there and then install it ;) -- gstreamer0.10 refuses to play certain valid MP3s (not all, but some) https://launchpad.net/bugs/42247 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
