[Preface: I have seen similar questions, but that did not help me and so this new question. To explain in more detail, I followed the steps in How do I resolve unmet dependencies after adding a PPA?, without rectifying the problem]

I am trying to install ccmake.

However, I get the following error:

sudo apt-get install cmake-curses-gui
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 cmake-curses-gui : Depends: cmake (= 2.8.7-0ubuntu4)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I tried sudo apt-get -f install, but it did not help.

I am unable to find broken packages either.

cmake-curses-gui depends on cmake (= 2.8.7-0ubuntu4) for a precise installation.

If you're unable to install this particular version it means that you installed a different version on your system.

Try first to uninstall cmake:

sudo apt-get remove cmake

And install again cmake-curses-gui:

sudo apt-get install cmake-curses-gui

If it doesn't work check if you're not pulling a different version of cmake from a ppa.
