I am getting the same or a similar problem, as far as I can tell. I did updates for OpenOffice, and they failed. An error message indicated to run:
sudo apt-get install -f which results in: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Correcting dependencies...

I found several posts in the forums that indicated that others have had problems updating OpenOffice, but I haven't found any consistent fixes to the problem.
