Those packages are available in ubuntu xenial (16.04) but not earlier 
versions. I assume you have an older version of ubuntu.

Here is my suggestion

Go to Ubuntu package search https://packages.ubuntu.com/
Search for the following packages in ubuntu-xenial: python-future, 
python-requests, python-requests-cache
Click on the package name in the web page
At the bottom of the page there are download links for architecture "all"
Download the deb file for each package
install gdebi-core on your system
Use "sudo gdebi" to install each of these packages.
Then go back and upgrade again.

This should work, the xenial packages do not have any strange dependencies.
