That does appear to be the problem, but not really an incorrect 
dependency, I believe. The dep is probably right, but you may have hit 
the repo right in mid-update, or something like that. It's happened to 
me before where some new bits had been uploaded, but other hadn't. It 
does funny things... So you might just try again in the morning, and 
perhaps it'll work, who knows... :-\
