I've installed python 2.7.5 on my ubuntu 14.04. And then I wanted to install virtualbox (or any other app), but I'm getting this error:

Reading package lists... Done

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

And if I run 'sudo apt-get -f install', all these dependencies will be deleted and my ubuntu will crash (I've already tried it and I've reinstalled ubuntu twice!!). Any ideas?? Help please!
