Install local packages using aynaptic

[MBG1987]

hello
I wonder if i can install packages that already exist in local directory using synaptic
for example:

I downloaded a set of programs with there dependencies and stored them in whatever folder, and i'd reinstalled my distro and i need to install just google chrome browser for instance, it's will be very difficult to install it among other packages.

it will be very useful if i forced synaptic to install chrome locally instead of downloading and installing them from the internet.

if some one tell me how to accomplish these approach i will be very grateful to him
Thank you in advance

You can copy the .dev files to /var/cache/apt/archives
Run

sudo apt-get install chromium -s
and see what it wants to download. If it is fine, remove the -s.
