Hi Stephane, thanks for your reply! :-)
I do not get any notification or warning or whatever from dpkg, all output I get when running # sudo dpkg -i python-<package name>_0.0.1-4927-1_all.deb is Selecting previously deselected package python-<package name>. (Reading database ... 15026 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking python-<package name> (from python-<package name>_0.0.1-4927-1_all.deb) ... Setting up python-<package name> (0.0.1-4927-1) ... And my <package name> package itself does get installed, but the 'psycopg2' and 'setuptools' packages it depends on do not get installed... How would I install a package with apt-get if I don't have it in the repository, but only have a local .deb file ?
