LinuxMint do not only uses the same Debian/Ubuntu packaging system (apt), it even uses the Ubuntu's repositories.

"dpkg" command do not install dependencies, and "apt-get" command do not install local deb packages.

There is a tool that install local deb packages, including its dependencies: gdebi
$ sudo apt-get install gdebi

to install dmd2 on LinuxMint:
$ sudo gdebi dmd_2.060-0_amd64.deb

If you get some problem with the installed (but still not configured) dmd deb package, remove it first:
$ sudo dpkg -P dmd
