Must use CLI to install CrossOver_14.1.1-1.deb in Kubuntu 14.04

The Kubuntu 14.04 package installer QApt does not seem to install CrossOver, but it's possible to install it from CLI.
[b]
Error Message[/b]
After downloading, Kubuntu attempts to install CrossOver using QApt.

I get an error message;
"Error: Cannot satisfy dependencies".

I was able to use directions provided by Lars Frantzen for installing Crossover to Kubuntu 13 (see link): Thanks Lars!!

Lars assumes I am installing CrossOver to a 64-bit system, so it may not be strictly necessary to install ia32-libs to my system.
I am unsure if I needed to install Synaptic Pkg Manager.

Steps I used:[/b]

1) Install Synaptic Package Manager using the Kubuntu Muon Package Manager.
2) Using Synaptic, install ia32-libs.
In Konsole (the Kubuntu CLI), I started Synaptic with 'sudo Synaptic'--Otherwise, packages do not install.
I searched for ia32-libs, and installed what came up.
3)In Konsole, I installed CrossOver.
cd Downloads
ls
sudo dpkg -i crossover_14.1.1-1.deb
Comments: cd to change directory to Downloads
ls to list contents- have to be sure crossover is there
sudo dpkg -i -- installs the crossover package.

4) Search for any missing packages
sudo apt-get -f install

Note: I was also unable to file a ticket today.

That's not really all that surprising. While we have not revisited our page about Kubuntu 14.04 since we've updated CrossOver, the instructions should still apply.
