You probably have to upgrade libasound2 first, but this might be done
automatically by "aptitude."
What is the .deb you're trying to install? What distribution are you
running?

dpkg installs individual debs. However, you need some kind of package
manager to grab the debs and have dpkg install them in the correct
order. If you want to be that package manager, feel free. You'll have
to check the dependancies of eacy package you want to install
recursively.
Why not just use aptitude?

This could be a third party software they give out only as deb file.

Can aptitude be used to install a single deb file from a folder ? if so, whats
the syntax ? also does it automatically check for dependencies ?
