You need to use the full filename on the command line
(ymessenger_1.0.4_1_i386.deb).  So the command should be "sudo dpkg -i
ymessenger_1.0.4_1_i386.deb".  The linux command line (bash) will
auto-complete filenames if you press the Tab key.

You can try "apt-get install libgdk-pixbuf2" to install that package.
Or, you can search for it using Synaptic (a GUI package manager).
Synaptic is available from the "System" menu.
