You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

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

So that doesn't work. I'm not sure how to proceed from there. This seems somewhat non-intuitive.

I thought that maybe aptitude is more clever and tries to help me more. So I tried:

So, that seems to have done something. Not sure if it was fine. The final message is a bit confusing. 0 (-1) broken == 0 (+1) fixed?
I wanted to check with apt-get again:

Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.

I still wonder about these kde-telepathy things. They are optional? I don't have them now? They are broken?
