For that one, I would use dpkg -i on a bzip2 deb file instead.
Using apt-get assumes internet connection and a repo with it already in there.
(Granted, bzip2 is in extras but that's in chinook extras and people have flashed to diablo now, so you don't see it and on a new flash, extras is disabled by default).
