Had this exact problem with same package. Was prompted to run in Terminal:
sudo apt-get install -f and then
sudo apt-get update

Worked a treat.

again open synaptic, click settings, then repositories, software sources will open, click other software, then dissable any repos that are not canonical or partners ! and close software sources then in terminal sudo apt-get update, and then sudo apt-get install -f, or in synaptic click reload, then go in to the broken filter and try to remove the offending packages ! :ugeek:
