Selecting previously unselected package fern-wifi-cracker.

Install the dependencies

Run in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install -f

This will fulfil the dependencies missing - dpkg isn't capable of doing this. It will also configure (finish) the installation of Fern-Wifi-Cracker_1.6_all.deb automatically.

Run the following in Terminal

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

to update the system. Then:

sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng

then

sudo apt-get install subversion

Then try again. This will install aircrack-ng and subversion first, then when you run 

sudo dpkg -i Fern-Wifi-Cracker_1.6_all.deb

It should work.

Edit

I have changed the code to reflect the comments on this question. Thank you for pointing them out.

    Actually a full list of dependencies is found here: http://code.google.com/p/fern-wifi-cracker/ – don.joey Jun 20 '13 at 13:35
  • Why are you advising to install build dependencies. He's not going to compile subversion and aircrack-ng here in the question, but he's installing a prebuilt binary package with regular dependencies. – gertvdijk Jun 20 '13 at 13:36
  • The question states that the dependencies aircrack-ng and subversion are not installed. How else is he going to install them? – Simon Jun 20 '13 at 13:40

    @SimplySimon If you are advising to install dependencies manually, then just use install, not build-dep. And I think installation of dependencies automatically as in my answer is a lot more user friendly. – gertvdijk Jun 20 '13 at 13:46
  • OK, when I tried it I found that supervision had dependencies so I used build-dep but it works with install so I will change my answer to reflect this. Thank you for your help :) – Simon Jun 20 '13 at 14:11
