Whenever apt suggests -f (or at least 99.99% of the cases) it is
correct in that you have messed up rpm's internal dependency
consitency (by the use of --nodeps for instance).

Perhaps the solution apt is suggesting is not the best (removing all
your rpms), but it is definitely a cry for your attention. No package
manager can sanely work if the dependencies on board are already
conflicting.

Try apt-get check, perhaps that will point you to the right direction.
