I got frustraded and re-installed ubuntu server. I'm at the point in the cmd line:

sudo apt-get update .. done
sudo apt-get upgrade .. done
sudo apt-get install linux-image-server linux-headders-server linux-souce

Note: power source when out. turn computer back on

and ran the same command sudo apt-get install linux-image-server linux-headders-server linux-souce and got this:

The following package have unmet dependecies:
Linux-source : depends :linux-sorce-3.5.0
but it is not going to be installed
E:Unmet dependecies try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages ( or specify a solucion)

So i try

sudo apt-get -f install

answer Yes to question and got this error

Can you add the line 13 of /var/lib/dpkg/available to your question? It might help to find a solution. You can also paste the complete file to paste.ubuntu.com and provide the link. – qbi Feb 27 at 6:39
