Remove Unmet Dependencies error

Question

I did a:

sudo dpkg -i --force-depends package.deb

The program was confused about a package that wasn't installed (it was). The program works fine, however now whenever I do an update, i get this message:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 fern-wifi-cracker : Depends: aircrack-ng (>= 1.0) but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

The software center, update manager, everything is giving me hell. The question is, how do I tell the computer that everything is ok, and there are no unmet dependences?

if i do:

sudo apt-get install -f

it wants to remove the program I have installed (not a good option if you ask me).

Any ideas on how to get my computer to chill out?

EDIT: Added what actually happens with last command:

user@computer:~$ sudo apt-get install -f
[sudo] password for user:

Do you want to continue [Y/n]? 

Answer 1

yup

you have to remove that package by pressing 'y' because it did'nt installed completely .for the further installation process remove it

Advice:- Dont use dpkg -i to install deb files ,Instead of that you can use gdebi ,it is safe and have gui frontend

Answer 2

Install a deb that says it provides aircrack-ng.

It appears it used to be in universe, but hasn't been bumped for precise. I just ran a test build only bumping the distribution and it seems to work.

I upped the package to PPA. It should be available here pretty soon, if I didn't mess anything up.

You may want to tack a bug on the universe package page asking for a version bump.

Answer 3

The only way to fix this is to remove the package, by typing sudo apt-get remove package (replace "package" with the neame of the package with unmet dependencies). I dealt with this problem for a long time with codeblocks (a C++ IDE). Tried everything and believe me, this is the simplest and best solution. Hope it helps.
