If you're only using the DPKG/Apt package manager you will be abled to install your downloaded package with the following command:
 +
 
 +
# dpkg -i package.deb
 +
 
 +
Replace package.deb with the particular package you want to install (e.g. bzflag-2.0.13.deb).
 +
 
 +
Download required packages from here: http://packages.debian.org/sid/bzflag
 +
 
 +
* bzflag
 +
* bzflag-data
 +
* bzflag-client
 +
* bzflag-server
  
# pacman -S bzflag
+
Please note that you need to resolve any further dependencies yourself, DPKG can't do this for you.
