Hi jwwin,
Only see one screenshot, but that's probably enough. That error message looks like something that would be seen if an update or installation did not fully complete. It may have been interrupted or something like that. Try doing what the message asks and run that command. You need to run it as root or it won't work, so start the command with the word "sudo" to do that. Open a terminal and enter the following as per the message:
After it completes, open Synaptic Package Manager and try to install heimdall again. Hopefully it works now.
If it doesn't work, or you get another error message, report back with that and another screenshot if possible.
In the meantime, if you still have the original Linux Lite ISO file that you used to make your installation DVD/USB, run an md5sum check on it and make sure the number matches what is shown on the download page. To check the md5sum from a Windows system (which is where I'm guessing you have it), use something like this tool: http://www.winmd5.com/.
