As Bob already stated the problem here is the error message.

The most user-friendly and technically correct error message would be 
something like "The package you tried to install depends on package 
"(WriteableBin)", and that is a package I cannot install automatically 
for you (there is no Download-URL field for it). Please select the 
"(WriteableBin)" package and read the description, it should contain 
instructions on how to proceed".

Does anyone have any suggestions for saying something equivalent to 
this in a one- or two-line message box?
