Problem With Installing Debian Packages

[curious235]

Hello,

I am using a Kali Linux 1.1.0a on a 64 bit architecture installed on my HDD as the sole OS. I am a rookie with Linux, and have been having problems with installing debian packages from the terminal.

This is the error I keep receiving (when trying to install OpenShot):


root@kali:~# sudo dpkg -i openshot_1.4.3-1_all.deb
(Reading database ... 318414 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace openshot 1.4.3-1 (using openshot_1.4.3-1_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement openshot ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of openshot:
openshot depends on gtk2-engines-pixbuf; however:
Package gtk2-engines-pixbuf is not installed.
openshot depends on melt; however:
Package melt is not installed.
openshot depends on python-mlt5 | python-mlt3 | python-mlt2; however:
Package python-mlt5 is not installed.
Package python-mlt3 is not installed.
Package python-mlt2 is not installed.
openshot depends on python-pygoocanvas; however:
Package python-pygoocanvas is not installed.

dpkg: error processing openshot (--install):

openshot

I tried -f install and instead of installing the missing engines, it removed OpenShot:

I looked for people with the same problem, but the solutions here did not work for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1712079

I am not sure, but it seems the Ubuntu solutions don't work well with Kali - am I correct?

I'd like to thank you for your help, in advance.

why not use repo... apt-get install openshot

I tried using repo, but even that is not working:


root@kali:~# apt-get install openshot
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
openshot is already the newest version.
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
openshot : Depends: gtk2-engines-pixbuf but it is not installable
Depends: melt but it is not installable
Depends: python-mlt5 but it is not installable or
python-mlt3 but it is not installable or
python-mlt2 but it is not installable
Depends: python-pygoocanvas but it is not installable
Recommends: openshot-doc but it is not installable
Recommends: frei0r-plugins but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Somebody please help.
