Hi inode77, thanks for taking the time to file this report.

Can you try just

sudo apt-get -f install

and paste the output of that here?

Thanks

marking Incomplete.

[inode77 (simon-gerber)]

Here we go. I installed and it works but I consider it suboptimal. What I did never try is using "Ubuntu Software Center" to install and see if GUI uses -f switch if normal install fails.

This appears to be some issue with aptitude then, redirecting as such.
