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."
