Hi:

Responding to automatic request for added info for you to solve problem.

 I am having difficulties with broken packages.  I tried to install
postgresql-9.3 and received  error report that postgresql-9.3-client and
postgresql-9.3-common were not installed because some dependencies were
not available.  So I installed this two programs and reinstalled
postgresql-9.3. Received error:

<-- snip-it -->

Hope this helps,
