sudo dpkg -i /path/to/package.deb
should do the trick.
The bigger question though, is what is broken that causes synaptic
(apt/aptitude/kynaptic/etc) to fail?
Help us help you - what does "sudo apt-get update" do from the command line?
What does "sudo apt-get install <package>" do from the command line where
"<package>" is something you want to install? Have you done an "sudo
apt-get --fix-missing update && sudo apt-get -f install" on the command
line to try and fix anything?
I'm sure others might have other suggestions, but more info will help us
help you (we're good, but we're not psychic! :P)
Cheers,
James
