I can't install crossover from the package, ".deb". Here is a screenshoot of it :

Try running this in a terminal:

sudo apt-get -f install

That should fix the dependencies :)

EDIT: If that doesn't work, try doing it manually, by doing this:

sudo dpkg -I package.deb

That will return a lot of output, but look for a line that starts with Depends:. That will contain a comma-separated list of packages it depends on, so install them all manually. For example, if you have this (I know, it's kind of ridiculous):

Depends: debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0, firefox, ia32-libs | flashplugin-installer, chromium (= 12)

First, interpret it:

It wants either debconf, greater than or equal to (>=) 0.5, OR (|) debconf-2.0 (any version will do, according to the package), so install either one of them

It wants firefox, and any version will do

It wants ia32-libs OR flashplugin-installer

It wants chromium, at exactly version 12.

Then install what it needs (notice chromium=12. That tells apt-get to fetch version 12 instead of the latest. Of course, the ubuntu repositories don't hold version 12, but you get the point):

sudo apt-get install debconf-2.0 ifrefox ia32-libs chromium=12

Then you can install your package:

sudo dpkg -i file.deb

Hope this helps!!
