[Denis Mehmedov <denis.mehmedov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tried fixing broken     apt-get -f install
purging, removing the package and nothing helped. I found one working solution in a forum which bypasses the broken package.

If anyone needs installing anything after this bug occured (while we are
waiting for fix) you need to temporary bypass the broken package in
doing the following:

in the terminal open dpkg's status file
gksudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status

remove all packages containing the words  linux, generic and raring 
then you will be able to install with apt-get as usual.
Please inform me if this doesn't help.
