Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I think that this is some sort of package management bug and may be transitory. It looks similar to bug 837525 even though its for a different release.

Please try completing the installation be running the following command:

  sudo apt-get -f install

Hopefully this should complete your installation.
