Bug description:
  When installing third-party packages that depend on ntfsprogs and
  support multiple Ubuntu versions, the dependency check fails on Raring
  Ringtail since the ntfs-3g package does not indicate it replaces
  ntfsprogs (source: aptitude show ntfs-3g).  I suspect this was
  overlooked in Raring as ntfsprogs was dropped (not provided) in
  Raring.  Unfortunately, some third-party packages will still address
  ntfsprogs for sometime and it would be helpful if ntfs-3g would
  satisfy the dependency.

  I have filed a bug with the third-party provider as well.
