I downloaded an open source software from the Internet to emulate white board on my computer. The link is here: http://open-sankore.org/

The download was as .zip file with .deb file inside (which I presume is the installation file)

I navigated to the directory where the .deb file is and I used the command:

dpkg -i {filename.deb}  

However, the log says that there are some unmet dependencies. The icon of OpenSankure does show up Dash but when I open Software Center, it says that the software catalog is broken and needs to be repaired.

After repair, OpenSankure disappears from Dash.

Can someone tell me how i can ensure that all dependencies are met at the time of install ?
