You are getting the problem because you already have zuluCrypt installed from packages provided by zuluCrypt upstream and you are trying to update them using ubuntu provided packages.

What you are trying to do is like mixing water and oil, it just doesnt work.

Solve the problem by doing one of the following:

1. Go to zuluCrypt project page and update with packages that are found there.

2. Remove completely zuluCrypt packages you have installed from zuluCrypt project page and then install the ones provided by ubuntu.
