What OS and version are you on?
I checked the .deb on a virtual Ubuntu, by double-clicking
openmusic-6.9.14-4_i386.deb (whereby i beleive ubuntu fired up
'software-installer' with the package-name?), and it installed without
any notices.
Typing 'dpkg -i ...' i get the same as you, and following the suggested
'apt-get -f install' does the job.

Right, but this is only if you do the deps manually, no?

Thats really stupid. You'd better address this issue to the folks
maintaining these packages.
