Ao instalar qualquer pacote com o apt-get, me deparo com esse problema:
# apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-headers-3.2.0-23-virtual : Depends: linux-headers-3.2.0-23 but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
Então, depois de tentar o apt-get -f install eu recebo isto:
# apt-get -f install
Reading package lists... Done

The following extra packages will be installed:
linux-headers-3.2.0-23
The following NEW packages will be installed:

A tentativa de instalar o pacote também falha usando o dpkg. Esperando que uma solução para isso possa ajudar outras pessoas no futuro.
