I can report the same issue in Linux Mint 18, where both the packages
mentioned by Steve MacDougall are in place:

[ root ] dpkg -l wpasupplicant network-manager-gnome                                                              gz-Latitude-E7240:~

+++-===========================-==================-==================-============================================================
ii  network-manager-gnome       1.2.0-0ubuntu0.16. amd64              network management framework (GNOME frontend)
ii  wpasupplicant               2.4-0ubuntu6       amd64              client support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i)


This was not a problem in Linux Mint 17.3, where network-manager-gnome was in version 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu4.1-mint1, and wpasupplicant doesn't seem to be part of the default release.

Was able to implement a workaround by forcing a downgrade of network-manager-gnome:
$ sudo su -
# service network-manager stop
# dpkg --force-all -i network-manager-gnome_0.9.8.8-0ubuntu4.1-mint1_amd64.deb
# service network-manager start

it works for me! :)
