I tried to install the Dart SDK on Ubuntu 14.04,but this apparently had unmet dependencies. I have not been able to resolve these dependency issues, and worse, I cannot install anything else using apt-get. For example when trying to install Chromium, I get:

peter@cactus:~$ sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 chromium-browser-l10n : Depends: chromium-browser (< 39.0.2171.65-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.1064.1~) but 41.0.2272.76-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.1076 is to be installed
 dartsdk : Depends: dartvm (>= 0.5.0.1+r21823-3) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

When I try sudo apt-get -f install I get the following error:

peter@cactus:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

Any idea how I can fix this mess?

Here is the output of apt-cache policy dart dartvm:

Did you try the suggestion?

Try '

apt-get -f install

' with no packages (or specify a solution)

If this doesn't work try the following

sudo apt-get autoclean && apt-get clean
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude -y upgrade
sudo aptitude install <package>

And please tell if its from a ppa maybe this link could be a solution for you.

How do I resolve unmet dependencies after adding a PPA?

What finally worked for me was sudo apt-get autoremove darteditor dartsdk. Apparently apt-get won't turn the other eye until all package dependencies are met. In this case both dart packages had unmet dependencies.
