can not install deb file on ubuntu 8.10 64bit.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. i do a: sudo dpkg -i whiteboard_0.3.4-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
2. i get error message: whiteboard depends on libbluetooth2 (>= 3.14); however
3. i have libbluetooth3 installed.
4. when i want to install libbluetooth2 i get following:
Package libbluetooth2 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I use this version of whiteboard:
http://linux-whiteboard.googlecode.com/files/whiteboard_0.3.4-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

and this is my os:
$ uname -a
Linux ignaz-notebook 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 22:15:32 UTC 2008
x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 8.10 \n \l

The x64 version was produced by someone else a while ago. Unfortunately all my
systems are 32-bit, you may try installing the 32-bit package or go to 'build' 
of the
source directory then run './make-deb.sh' to build your own package if possible 
(if
it fails, it will tell you what dependencies you need to install, retry till it
succeeds).
