package management - Offline installing libxml2-dev in Ubuntu 15.04



Hi I'm kinda new to Ubuntu and have a problem. I don't have any internet on my pc and wanto install the libxml2-dev package to my system. I've gotten hold of a .deb file which I can open with the Software Centre buuuut, when I do that I get an error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libicu-dev.
Here is the complete name of the .deb file I downloaded from LaunchPad site.

libxml2-dev_2.9.2+dfsg_1-3_amd64.deb
So can anyone help me install this package via .deb file format please.



Go to a system with Internet access and download libicu-dev
via



wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/libicu-dev_52.1-8ubuntu0.2_amd64.deb


and install with




sudo dpkg -i libicu-dev_52.1-8ubuntu0.2_amd64.deb


Then install the libxml2-dev package again



sudo dpkg -i libxml2-dev_2.9.2+dfsg1-3_amd64.deb






However, it may be that you still need more packages. Unfortunately I can not say that because I do not know what you have already installed. But I think the way forward is clear. ;)



All packages are available here. Search the packages for Vivid (vivid and/or vivid-updates) and download the 64-bit versions. Use an USB stick and use this stick in your desktop system.
