Dependency Problem

[prohank]

Hey guys,
Running into a problem here and as always looking for some support from you guys.
I have a dependency problem and it won't let me install any new programs.
I had reinstalled Ubuntu on the same partition few days back because of some serious problems.And ran Deja vu Backup after re-installation that restored data of the non installed programs too.
So while running sudo apt-get install -f
I get the following errors.

Reading package lists... Done

Do you have any unofficial source in your sources.list?

[prohank]

No,I haven't added any sources as of now.

[schragge]

Try

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

[prohank]

Nah.
That didn't help.Still same error.

[cortman]

Try

sudo dpkg --configure -a

[prohank]

Nope that didn't work too..
Can't we remove those packages from the system?
I found one thing that all those errors were because of the packages I installed from ubuntu restricted extras that was for oneric.
Will this be solved?
What are other options?

And you're running (I take it) 12.04 Precise?
Then that's definitely a problem.

There may be a way to fix it but if you've not devoted much time to rebuilding your system yet, I'd say reinstall Ubuntu and don't use backups of the old programs.
What you install in Ubuntu *must* match the version. Otherwise you wind up with dependency problems like you're experiencing.

[prohank]

Yeah I am using precisely what u said.
I haven't spend much time on Ubuntu also I am learning the command line along with college stuff so don't get enough time to do all this.
Can you please say what do u mean by "rebuilding the system"?
I will reinstall it again but as I said those errors were from ubuntu restricted extras and not from the backed up data so will it cause any harm if I restore previous backups,because they contain some important data.
and there was no other option to save the data files.
Thanks for the help.

Hi, what is the output of

sudo apt-get install libjpeg62

libjpeg62 doesn't depend on anything so something must be blocking it
