You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
codeblocks-dbg : Depends: codeblocks (= 10.05-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
So what happens when you try running "apt-get -f install" like it says?
when i do this the msg is,

i tried to install codeblock ,,but failed,,is the problem because of that,,how can i overcome this problem??
They've got some weird ideas at Ubuntu if they think codeblocks is needed for nasm. Codeblocks is an IDE, a glorified text editor. Nasm is mostly run from the CLI. Don't know how you're going to solve that problem, except change to a sensible distro.
