Selecting previously unselected package fern-wifi-cracker.

Unpacking fern-wifi-cracker (from Fern-Wifi-Cracker_1.6_all.deb) ...

Install the dependencies

Run in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install -f

This will fulfil the dependencies missing - dpkg isn't capable of doing this. It will also configure (finish) the installation of Fern-Wifi-Cracker_1.6_all.deb automatically.

Run the following in Terminal

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

to update the system. Then:

sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng

then

sudo apt-get install subversion

Then try again. This will install aircrack-ng and subversion first, then when you run

sudo dpkg -i Fern-Wifi-Cracker_1.6_all.deb

It should work.

Edit

I have changed the code to reflect the comments on this question. Thank you for pointing them out.
