I'm trying to install bnx2 non free driver on Debian wheezy. The driver is in non free repositories. Since there is no network connectivity I should download .deb file and install it on the box. After installing Does apt update that package when new versions released or because it is manually installed it ignores it?
Does apt update manually installed packages
debian;apt
The package will be upgraded if an upgrade cantidate is available. There is no difference between a package that is installed via apt and one that is installed directly by dpkg. The state goes to the same database.
