How to fix dependencies in Ubuntu 14.04.

Hello!
There was such a problem: I installed Ubuntu 14.04.2 on a bald laptop and after installation, part of the software and libraries stopped installing, swearing at unmet dependencies.
Here is an example:

$ sudo apt-get install libvtk6-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... 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.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libcheese-gtk23 : Depends: libclutter-gtk-1.0-0 (>= 0.91.8) but it is not going to be installed
                   Depends: libcogl15 (>= 1.15.8) but it is not going to be installed
 libcheese7 : Depends: libclutter-gst-2.0-0 (>= 0.10.0) but it is not going to be installed
              Depends: gstreamer1.0-clutter but it is not going to be installed
 libclutter-1.0-0 : Depends: libcogl-pango15 (>= 1.15.8) but it is not going to be installed
                    Depends: libcogl15 (>= 1.15.8) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

Googling the problem did not help solve it. Has anyone experienced this and/or can offer some advice?
Thanks in advance!

In general, similar things if the situation is not very sad is corrected with:
This should resolve unresolved dependencies.
Just look closely at what it offers. If the system is sure that the solution will be the demolition of half of the system - refuse)

Delete all non-standard repositories.
Then do:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get -f install
