Estropeé el sistema de paquete local, ¿cómo puedo repararlo?

Después de eliminar un PPA recientemente, mi sistema de paquetes local se estropeó. Ahora me pide que ejecute sudo apt-get -f install para corregir dependencias.

Habiendo esperado un par de días para que el problema se resolviera solo (a veces las dependencias cambian debido a los nuevos lanzamientos de paquetes), después de todo, no sucedió. Entonces mi pregunta es:¿Cuál es la salida? ¿Reinstalar el sistema es el único método?

Note: Soy consciente de que este no es el lugar para manejar sus problemas con las versiones alfa, pero en mi opinión, vale la pena dar una respuesta general sobre cómo abordar el problema.

PD:La salida del terminal de mi problema específico

Esto funcionó para mí:

1. Sináptica abierta
2. Podría decir There are broken packages on your system. Si es así, vaya a Edit -> Mark broken packages y presiona aplicar.
3. Cierre Synaptic y haga sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade y todo podría volver a estar bien.
