You may need to run the following:

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Then re-install the package.

If that does not resolve your issue, please mark the bug as "Confirmed"

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

fixed the problem for the "noob".

What actually does "install -f" do

Thanks
