The gist: when installing a .deb package using the dpkg utility:
$ sudo dpkg -i mypackage.deb
it complains about unresolved dependencies. How can we try to resolve them automatically, without installing them manually?
So, after dpkg has complained at us, we run:
$ sudo apt-get -f install
which tries to install all the packages that are missing.
PS. Of course, it doesn't always work.
