Hi, you need to install the dependencies for those packages you are trying to install. You can manually install them by searching for them here (http://packages.ubuntu.com/) (can be a lengthy process manually installing all the required dependencies) Or you can use Keyrx (http://keryxproject.org/) which is a lot easier and allows you to download the packages you want and all their dependencies all at once.
