Installing arbitrary .deb files on a system can lead to a broken system
and is not recommended for this reason, as you discovered. You should
stick to installing software from the software center only. Anything
else risks the stability of the system, and you'll be at the whim of
whomever is giving you instructions to do something else.

I understand that power users typically do install from other sources,
and recommend others do so. You've just discovered why, in general, this
is a bad idea :(
