Make a note of any missing package(s).  Since it is stopping with too 
many errors, you may not be able to get all of them at first.

sudo apt-get <missing-package(s)>
sudo dpkg --configure -a

This will cause dpkg to try to configure any packages that are not 
installed.

You may need to do this a number of times as missing dependencies are shown.
