I fixed this by running `sudo dpkg -r libsox-fmt-sndfile` and then `sudo apt-get -f install`, based on a suggestion from a similar issue on the Debian mailing list: http://<email address hidden>/msg538401.html

"It looks like the old libsox-fmt-sndfile (which seems to have been removed from the archive) conflicts with libsox-fmt-base. I'd suggest just removing it by hand with dpkg (aptitude was going to remove it anyway)"

Seemed to work fine for me. apt-get -f install completed successfully this time.

That was fixed in Debian's 14.3.0-1.1.
The fix is also present in version 14.3.1-1 available in both Debian and Ubuntu.

Changed in sox (Ubuntu):
