can you please tell us how you tried to install the package? clicking on
it in konqi or dolphin, or from konsole? the command used if it's the
latter you used.

Is it the website or apt that is giving you the error?

MANY THANKS Willy for your help!!! :-)
Sorry for the incomplete informations!

Both at dolphin and konqueror double-clicking on it, brings up gdebi
package installer, that gave me the above error message.
Obviously, this was my fault according to its page:
http://iplist.sourceforge.net/documentation.html

"Prerequisites

IPblock is part of the iplist package. iplist requires a 2.6.14 kernel
or later with the option CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_NFQUEUE enabled
(module or build-in). The download section lists the required packages
on which iplist/IPblock depends on.
Installation
Install prerequisites (Ubuntu and Debian)
aptitude install prerequisites
Download the deb-package of iplist and install it (Ubuntu and Debian)
dpkg -i ./iplist*.deb"


So I tried again, and from konsole I gave:
1) sudo aptitude install prerequisites
that completed correctly, and
2) sudo dpkg -i ./iplist*.deb
that gave me the error messages that a) gksu, b) libnfnetlink0 and c)
java 5-6 are not installed!

So, I tried again from konsole.

that completed successfully.
and
2) "sudo dpkg -i ./iplist*.deb"
that gave the error messages, that a) gksu b) libnfnetlink0 and c) java

I'll try installing them, and I'll be back.
