I reinstalled using SPM and it resolved the problem.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 xpdf : Depends: xpdf-common but it is not going to be installed
 xpdf-reader : Depends: xpdf-common (>= 3.02-9ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed
               Depends: xpdf-common (< 3.02-9ubuntu1.1~) but it is not going to be installed
