Seems like a case of trying to define loop - "loop: see loop" :-) – Parto Feb 14 '14 at 20:31

My standard commands when trying to fix packages:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get check
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -f
or if it does not work (somehow deb did not finish installing)
sudo dpkg --configure -a

Try using aptitude : sudo aptitude install <package-name>
If you don't have aptitude installed, run sudo apt-get install aptitude.
Good luck !!!
