Thank you Ralf for your reply which I just discovered in my spam directory.

The problem is that the Xubuntu application "Software" won't allow 
connections to a metered Internet account. That's really the problem 
that I'm trying to solve.

My original question regarding the installation of a .deb file was 
solved by using Synaptic to download the dependency.
