error messages installing .deb file

[MICHAEL WEAVER]

You are right.
I was trying to install the Network Manager package off-line.
I kept getting some kind of dependency problem, something about not 
being able to install libnl1-pre6, or something like that, libnm-util 
and there was a third file it couldn't seem to install so obviously it 
was a dependency error.
I tried the suggested command on the wikki only I got the same thing 
when I did the command to install the package.
I installed Edgy in December at my Linux group but didn't get chance to 
update it from when it was installed so it might be missing things which 
might be the problem.
