Looks like you did just "sudo apt-get  --fix-broken" when you should 
have done "sudo apt-get  --fix-broken install"

The fix command needs a command that gives apt instructions on what to 
do when it finds something to fix.  Usually you'll want to install 
missing packages in order to fix missing packages, but you can do "sudo 
apt-get  --fix-broken remove" to get it to remove packages in order to 
fix your packages which can be the better solution under certain, rare, 
circumstances.
