You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

最后一行：尝试不使用任何软件包的“apt-get -f install”（或指定解决方案）。

Okay.

我该如何摆脱这个困境？谢谢。

有些命令是多余的，但这是一个很好的措施：

sudo apt-get --purge remove libboost-all-dev libboost-dev libboost-doc
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libboost1.54-dev

稍微小心一点apt-get clean- 它清除检索到的包的本地存储库/var/cache/apt/archives。您不应该在那里存储任何内容，也不应该存储任何应用程序，但要注意缓存将会消失。
