Comment 19 for bug 1013856

Generally, sudo apt-get install -f this command should resolve the problem of unmet dependencies.
-f, --fix-broken Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place. This option, when used with install/remove, can omit any packages to permit APT to deduce a likely solution. If packages are specified, these have to completely correct the problem. The option is sometimes necessary when running APT for the first time; APT itself does not allow broken package dependencies to exist on a system. It is possible that a system's dependency structure can be so corrupt as to require manual intervention (which usually means using dselect(1) or dpkg --remove to eliminate some of the offending packages)
If not, try
sudo apt-get install aptitude
sudo aptitude install <package-name>
and the problem can be solved.

The general idea of this problem is different versions have different packages. Generalizing the package versions for different versions of the operating system, might be a useful solution.
