Synaptic does not install downloaded packets. Only istalls packets in the repositories that (by default or by user) are registered.
You must either use GDebi (if downloaded file is a .deb file) or follow the directions in http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=install_aircrack.

Can you help with this problem?
