You can install it from the Ubuntu Software Center. That should take care of dependencies.

When I tried sudo apt-get install -f I got 0 upgrade. I tried the second line, its say done. Whne I tried the 3rd line. It repeated the Depencies error message that I posted earlier

The error message suggests you are attempting to mix and match packages from different Ubuntu releases.

Can you please copy & paste the output of:

Code:
cat /etc/apt/sources.list

TroN-0074 01-18-2013 11:43 AM
Another thing
Code:
sudo apt-get -f install

Your software sources /etc/apt/sources.list is missing (at minimum) the "main" repo to install libc6 so that you can satisfy the dependencies for synaptic.

You may find this helpful:

http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/

After you repair /etc/apt/sources.list then you refresh with:

Code:
sudo apt-get update
and you should be OK. :)
