What little I can tell from those screenshots, it looks like there's a dependency-problem at the heart of this. Either it can't find a certain package, or the version of one or more is wrong. It's really impossible to tell without being able to read the error-message, or knowing what package(s) can't be installed, and why.

Have you added any repository/-ies, ticked backports or Romeo?
