Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
What to do about the "let's uninstall all of your important stuff like aptitude, deluge, gcc, vim and everything else you really need" thing?

Help is much appreciated.

aquafinity,

It almost looks as though your "package database" is corrupt, or at least doesn't have an accurate idea of with what packages are actually installed.
Did you keep an install log and also keep the packages around, so that you might reconstruct what the state of the system should be?
Have you noticed any disk errors or other problems, shortly before you noticed the package problem? Are there any disk errors reported in the system logs?
Are there any other errors reported in the system logs?

Inquiring minds want to know. Seriously though, additional details would help us help you better.

What was the package you tried to install before you got this problem? The apt output looks like you tried to install a lower version package, while all your dependencies for it are already installed and higher version.

If that is indeed the case, maybe you can try deleting the file of the problem from /var/cache/apt/archives and run an apt-get -f install

Or try dpkg --audit , if I remember well it should output the problem packages.

If you were just try to update though, maybe try an apt-get clean all and after repeat an apt-get update

Do you have by any chance chance repositories of different Debian versions (or even mixed Ubuntu repositories in)?
I would like to see your /etc/apt/sources.list and, if they exist, content of files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d to see your basic configuration, this looks like you have broken your system with mixing stable and experimental repositories.

I experienced the same problem while upgrading from squeeze to wheezy. My solution was to use apt-get upgrade followed by apt-get dist-upgrade
