Package emerald is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package emerald has no installation candidate

Also, if you search here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=emerald&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all

You can see the only packages available are emerald-themes and xemeraldia, so no emerald.

/etc/apt/sources.list Edit (1.2 KiB, text/plain)

I've removed the beryl upstream repository from my sources.list and now it seems that there are some missing dependencies in the beryl package from universe:

$ sudo apt-get install beryl

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
beryl: Depends: beryl-plugins but it is not installable
Depends: beryl-settings but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
