A., have you checked "sources.list" in /etc/apt? You will be best served by using software from your distro. You can add "contrib" to the lines after "main" and even "non-free" for proprietary blobs. If from your distro there has at least been review for compatibility. 
I plan to bring a laptop tonight in which I edited my "sources.list" to get the install on a proper footing. You can check the Debian wiki for guidelines.
Thank you, Ted P.

Hi

Although the program, currently unknown, has been offered to me to
remedy a previously failed download solution. How will I determine that
the new download strategy is free of unwanted security or privacy
threatening devises.

Thanks, Anthony K
