On a clean edubuntu 7.10 install, I am unable to install squeak.

1. Download deb file from web site but could not install  it.
-----Output-----------  
sudo dpkg --install squeakland_3.8-6u_all.deb 
Selecting previously deselected package squeakland.
(Reading database ... 141909 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking squeakland (from squeakland_3.8-6u_all.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of squeakland:
 squeakland depends on squeak-vm; however:
  Package squeak-vm is not installed.
dpkg: error processing squeakland (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 squeakland

2. Tried apt-get
---------Output----------------
sudo apt-get install squeak
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  squeak: Depends: squeak-vm but it is not installable
          Depends: squeak-sources (> 3-1) but it is not going to be installed
  squeakland: Depends: squeak-vm but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Tried to install the squeak-vm
sudo apt-get install squeak-vm
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package squeak-vm 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 squeak-vm has no installation candidate

Please advice what I can do.
