The name of the package is python-pyparsing
. You are using the package file name, which is composed of the package name, version, and architecture, with a .deb
extension to boot.
The correct command line is
sudo apt-get install python-pyparsing
The package toolchain takes care of finding a suitable version for your architecture, and downloading it from a suitable repository. (apt-cache policy python-pyparsing
will tell you which versions are available.)
If you require this specific version, use
sudo apt-get install python-pyparsing=1.4.2-1.1
provided it is available from one of the Apt sources you have configured.
(If you have a deb
file which you have downloaded, you can install that with dpkg
:
sudo dpkg -i path/to/python-pyparsing_1.4.2-1.1_all.deb
but you should normally never need to do this. dpkg
doesn't download missing dependencies or do much anything you don't specifically ask it to.)
