dpkg
is for packages that already reside on your local file system. It can't resolve any dependencies, that's why your first attempt failed.
apt-get
will resolve all dependencies and download the required packages. It will actually call
dpkg
somewhere during the installation process.
apt-get
, however, requires the name of the package your going to install as a parameter, not the name of a file. That's why your second attempt also failed.
