Then why are you trying to confuse the issue?

All he needs to know is: sudo gainroot, then dpkg -i to install whatever he's trying to install.

Gadget25, you cannot have Application Manager open when you're trying to install stuff from the command line. The system will only allow one installation process (apt, dpkg, Application Manager, etc.) to run at a time to prevent them from running into eachother. Make sure Application Manager is closed, then re-run the dpkg command.
