Same issue here, on 12.04.5 LTS

even after Joseph's instructions (install -f, clean, and update), I
still get this:

user@server:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 linux-image-generic-lts-trusty : Depends: linux-image-3.13.0-57-generic but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

Then trying with -f, I get

user@server:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade -f
