The dependencies are correct.  Why is python3 being installed at a
lesser version than the others?

As suggested in parenthesis, you can possibly bypass whatever is the
problem by running the original command and appending
“python3=3.2.3-5ubuntu1.1”.

Title:
  Broken dependency, unable to update or install packages

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When using apt-get install:

  You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   python3 : Depends: python3-minimal (= 3.2.3-5ubuntu1) but 3.2.3-5ubuntu1.1 is to be installed
   python3-dev : Depends: python3 (= 3.2.3-5ubuntu1.1) but 3.2.3-5ubuntu1 is to be installed
  E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

  It looks like the '=' should be '>='. If I run 'apt-get -f install',
  it tries to uninstall a very large number of packages.

  Ubuntu 12.10
