Remove the ActivationDependency or make the target Feature visible. MSDN: 'Feature activation dependencies are not supported across scopes if the Feature that is depended upon is not visible. In other words, a Web site-scoped feature cannot be dependent on a site collection–scoped Feature that is not visible in the user interface.'
