E: Couldn't find package wvdial

Do I need to install it using the package wvdial_1.61-4.1_armel.deb from the debian repos http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/wvdial?

Installing packages from Debian on Maemo isn't recommended.

Package wvdial 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
E: Package wvdial has no installation candidate
So how do you install it?

i have not seen wvdial available for maemo.
Some seems to have been trying to port it, but not sure if they succeeded.
Also not sure why you need it?

Anyway, if you type

apt-cache search vwdial

it will show which package is (if any) reffering to wvdial

well, you can try the deb you tried with dpkg -i, then try to locate the packages on which it depends (fx debconf). These are listed in your output from dpkg -i.
just a warning, it may very well break your system, resulting in a needed fresh system flash. Especially the dependencies on libc6 needs to be adressed with caution.
best, have a backup ready
