Package dependencies cannot be resolved when installing totem

Question

Package dependencies cannot be resolved when installing totem and I get this in details:

totem: Depends: python:any (>= 2.7.1-0ubuntu2) but it is a virtual package
       Depends: libnautilus-extension1a (>= 1:2.91) but 1:3.10.1-0ubuntu8 is to be installed
       Depends: libtotem0 (>= 3.10.1-1ubuntu4) but 3.10.1-1ubuntu4 is to be installed
       Depends: totem-common (= 3.10.1-1ubuntu4) but 3.10.1-1ubuntu4 is to be installed

I have found out that my problem is libtotem0. I have an old version installed. When I mark it in Synaptic for upgrade and Apply, it says that I have broken packages. How can I find out which ones are broken and fix them?

Here is my sources.list. Strange it says saucy, but I installed trusty.

Have you tried sudo apt-get install -f or sudo apt-get install --fix-missing? They can tell you which packages are broken and automatically fix them for you. Also, you could try uninstalling libtotem0 and reinstalling it.
