I run:
sudo apt-get -f install

and get:
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libsasl2-2:

hopefully that gives you a picture of what's happen.

This all started after trying to install apache2.
Here are my repos:

Does anyone have any ideas what might be happening and how I might be able to fix it.

Thanks in advance.

when I try to install packages listed as not installed, I get:

$ sudo apt-get install libsasl2-modules-gssapi-heimdal
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libsasl2-modules-gssapi-heimdal: Depends: libsasl2 (= 2.1.19.dfsg1-0.2ubuntu3) but 2.1.22.dfsg1-8ubuntu2 is to be installed
E: Broken packages


How did I mess things up so bad? What did I do wrong? I know I added some new repositories, could that be what screwed things up? How can I avoid this from happening again? Would it just be easier to backup files and reinstall?
