At a guess you're running Xubuntu Gutsy (7.10), and the instructions
that you probably followed are on this page:-
http://blueman.tuxfamily.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=51&Itemid=56

Are for Hardy (8.04). As such blueman in that repo needs newer versions
of packages than you have on Gutsy.

You could do one of the following - in order of preference, best to
worst.

1. Ask the people who make it if they have a deb package for Gutsy.
2. Learn how to package, and make the package for Gutsy yourself from
the source on that site.
3. Upgrade to hardy, then try installing blueman
4. Install the package from source (unlikely to work as you'll probably
still need the dependencies.
5. Ask someone else to package it for you for gutsy.

If I were you I'd go for 1 then 3, as that's the easiest to do. If it
were my system, I'd go for 1 then 2.

Good luck!

(this is all of course assuming I'm right, and that you are indeed
running Gutsy).

Cheers,
Al.
