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

How should I fix broken packages? I have tried things from #171038, but nothing helped in my case.

I had to search for these packages online, download and install them one by one:

libicu52_52.1-3ubuntu0.5_amd64.deb
libicu52_52.1-3ubuntu0.5_i386.deb
libjasper1_1.900.1-14ubuntu3.3_amd64.deb
libjasper1_1.900.1-14ubuntu3.3_i386.deb
libqt5core5a_5.2.1+dfsg-1ubuntu14.3_amd64.deb
libqt5core5a_5.2.1+dfsg-1ubuntu14.3_i386.deb
libwmf0.2-7_0.2.8.4-10.3ubuntu1.14.04.1_amd64.deb
libwmf0.2-7_0.2.8.4-10.3ubuntu1.14.04.1_i386.deb

Using sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite <package>.

Then sudo apt-get install -f and sudo apt autoremove.
