Try updating your list of available packages:
sudo aptitude update

If that didn't work, use a different mirror.

I can replicate this and I can confirm that this problem is specific to the mirror you are using (se.archive.ubuntu.com).
Please use the official ubuntu mirror for now as there maybe synchronization issues between that and the official mirror.

@Lars: Try it again, the amarok-common build failed over the weekend which was fixed a few hours ago, please just wait for the mirrors to update.

Preface: sorry for prievious post, it was not deliberate: it was a colleagues' joke.
Regarding this thread. I noticed that sometimes it's impossible to correct a missing deps. neither 'apt-get update', nor 'apt-get -f install' may solve the issue.
(I had a lot of problem during upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10, for example)
In this case I've been forced to delete the entry from /var/lib/dpkg/status file (amarok, in my case) and typing again 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' or just ... apt-get install <something>.
If I don't do this way, I cannot install nor remove something 'cause I should get the same error "The following packages have unmet dependencies: ... etc etc."
