No!! Just "sudo apt-get install -f".

Don't get carried away by the word 'install'!
-f is a switch to 'apt-get install' that says "fix missing"

If that alone doesn't help, do the following:

1)  sudo apt-get clean              --     cleans up cache of "apt-get"
2) sudo apt-get autoclean         --     removes files temporarily
downloaded by "apt-get" (downloaded for installation)
3) sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/* -- removes all (including 'partial')
downloads by "apt-get"
4) sudo apt-get update                     --  build fresh and updated
cache of package information
*** Now your system would come to a predictable state ***
5) sudo apt-get install -f                    -- Just in case!
*** Go ahead with whatever you want to install ***
