The codeblock-headers is in process of being removed, but for some reason apt-get won't do that first, you only need to remove it manually then install what you need to install:

sudo apt-get remove codeblocks-headers
sudo apt-get install codeblocks-contrib

I would report a bug to the package maintainers also with the problem.

Try running:

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/codeblocks-dev_13.12-3_amd64.deb

Then run:

sudo apt-get -f install

Source: How to resolve "dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/python-apport_2.0.1-0ubuntu9_all.deb"?

OR

sudo apt-get remove codeblocks-dev && sudo apt-get install -f && sudo apt-get install codeblocks-dev

  • I fixed it, I just went down the line of errors and removed all of the things from codeblocks that was giving me errors. Thanks for trying to help though. – DejectedAxe May 14 '14 at 17:20

the trick is when you remove/purge one pakage !
remove or purge them all with one cmd ,

what worked for me : 

sudo apt-get remove codeblocks-contrib codeblocks-dbg codeblocks-contrib-dbg

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 codeblocks-dbg : Depends: codeblocks-contrib (= 13.12-3) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
