Hello Dorita,
See if this works.  First unhold any packages that are
on hold:

Sudo aptitude unhold 


Aptitude is supposed to be better at fixing broken
dependencies than apt-get.

Then do:

sudo aptitude -f install

If this command completes without error you should be
OK.  Then do a sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude
upgrade to be sure you have picked up everything.
If this doesn't work, you need more capable help than
I can give.
Good luck,

Len
