^ Were you using dpkg?
# apt install /full/path/to/.deb

No I don't usually install debs with dpkg on my personal machines, I prefer apt. It wanted to pull in a bunch of cinnamon desktop and other Minty stuff, and I couldn't be bothered any longer. I did not need it to run, I was just curious to see if I could easily install it with the one package. After the third failure and asking for more and more packages I grew bored with the whole endeavor.

I haven't tried it myself but apt won't let you install it if there are dependency issues.
