Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  osso-software-version: Depends: xserver-xomap (= 1:1.3.99.0~git20070321-0osso20074202) but 1:1.3.99.0~git20070321-0osso20074202-randr01 is to be installed
  screen: Depends: libncursesw5 (>= 5.4-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
It is same problem like here http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=16244. Anyone can verify it is not just me?

Hacking /var/lib/dpkg/status by hand solves the problem for me but if someone verifies the problem too, it needs fixing and reinstallation of xserver package.
Now it showed up for me; I had updated some software that did not have the explicit dependency problem, but openssh and camera need it. Not just you , but I put lies in /var/lib/dpkg/status and it works.
