Generally, sudo apt-get install -f this command should resolve the problem of 
unmet dependencies.
-f, --fix-broken Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in 
place. This option, when used with install/remove, can omit any packages to 
permit APT to deduce a likely solution. If packages are specified, these have 
to completely correct the problem. The option is sometimes necessary when 
running APT for the first time; APT itself does not allow broken package 
dependencies to exist on a system. It is possible that a system's dependency 
structure can be so corrupt as to require manual intervention (which usually 
means using dselect(1) or dpkg --remove to eliminate some of the offending 
packages)
If  not, try
sudo apt-get install aptitude
sudo aptitude install <package-name>
and the problem can be solved.


The general idea of this problem is different versions have different packages. 
Generalizing the package versions for different versions of the operating 
system, might be a useful solution.
