The problem is when you add repository and installed from that , your apt was quite badely affected and it couldn't solve the problem. Fixing this is a long processs ad this problem can not be eliminated, but can be reduced. First try to install that package and see the dependency file track that and un install that(because when it is installed you can not continue fixing that) Now keep repeating it for a while untill you can install your desired package. You have to uninstall everything from the repo you just removed.
