Eh. What he's talking about is the simplest solution for him as a user without access to the repo's on how to fix this issue.

He could simply download the .deb file that's causing problems. Unpack the .deb file, rather than installing it, then browse to the control.tar.gz file and open it or unpack it. Within that .gz package there is a file called control, which tells the installer for which versions of deps it provides. Change that and... PRESTO.

To make it even easier, michaaa62, kindly created an adapted .deb file to do just that.

That being said: If OP would have simply used google to search for the error string, the problem would have been solved within minutes.
