It could be permissions.
Get it off the Desktop and move it to your homedirhomedir mv ~/Desktop/wvdail-1.60.1_i386.deb ~/ Then post it's permissions if it doesn't install. Post the o/p of ls -lh wvdail-1.60.1_i386.deb |

but it was of no use the op was same as mentioned above |
Typically when installing packages, unless there is a specific reason not to use the repository use the repo. However, when using the repo make sure you don't specify the full filename... it's going to go find the right package, get the information on it, download all the pre-reqs, etc.
If you want to it manually with dpkg you can... but you're going to go need to find the right versions of each of the packages listed as a pre-requisite and install it yourself with dpkg -i and any pre-requisite those packages also have. On some of the bigger, complex packages the number of installs for a single package might be 30+ packages before you can actually do your install. Code:
sudo apt-get update Code:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free With the correct distribution and repositories of course. |

You should not need to directly download a particular version of wvdial and install it via dpkg in either debian or ubuntu of any variety. Although you may need to run an update prior to attempting the install. Quote:
