I agree, and suggest Neal might also want to check his repository
designations (for example, did he accidentally activate a repository
containing the wrong architecture, such as 64 bit when his machine is 32
bit or vice versa).

It's also possible the system isn't connected correctly to the proper
repositories, and that's why the dependencies aren't being met.

When you issue this command:

$ sudo apt-get update

does it spew out errors about missing repositories?
