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

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
pulseaudio : Depends: libpulse0 (= 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3) but 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.3 is to be installed
