Eu tive esse problema quando tentei instalar o php5-curl no meu Ubuntu 14.04.
Eu corri: sudo apt-get install php5-curl e tenho:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
Mas quando eu executo apt-get -f install , recebo uma mensagem dizendo que muitos pacotes serão removidos quando eu continuar ...:

O que poderia estar causando esses erros de dependência?
Espero que você possa me ajudar. Se você precisar de mais informações, basta perguntar.
Obrigado antecipadamente!
Infelizmente, não consegui descobrir a causa dos erros nem uma simples salução. Eu fiz um instantâneo do sistema e fiz o backup dos dados e configurações necessários que eu queria recuperar e fiz um completo reinstalado. Demorei algum tempo para recuperar tudo, mas há uma vantagem: agora eu tenho um sistema limpo e organizado novamente sem erros.
