It seems to me that a lot of the problems using Linux is because of mismatched dependencies.

I would like to install .deb file via dpkg in Arch Linux. This .deb file needs many dependencies. I don't want to install dependencies one by one manually.
How do I force dpkg to install all dependencies?

Unfortunately there's no way to have dpkg automatically install dependencies - it just doesn't support that. There are other tools on Debian/Ubuntu systems to do that (eg, apt-get, aptitude, gdebi) - are any of those available for Arch? If so, you'd be better off using one of those.

libstdc++ 3 is not the default libstdc++ anymore. You can still install it, though it is best to do so with your distro package util. I'm assuming your BOINC client is for your arch, x86_64, and not compiled for x86. The difference is significant in resolving dependency issues.
