Install upgrade from 2.6.1 to any other verison fails

Ok, now I am really screwed. Every time I try to install a missing 
dependency, it also has a missing dependency or it breaks another module 
so that now I am 3 layers deep in trying to satisfy requirements to 
install this program. I got to a point where gnuutils level was an 
issue. If I keep going, I will deinstall every package on the system. 
This is crazy. I have tried gdebi (e.g. sudo gdebi 
libaqbanking35_5.6.1beta-2_amd64.deb),  dpkg, apt-get and Ubuntu 
software centre.
Isn't there a way that I can issue an install and have all its 
dependencies for this program for the level of Ubuntu I am running 
installed?

I am back to reinstalling the original version. I hope it works!

Anyone on this user board have some expertise in this area?
