apt problems and why?



I get the following error message 


home:/home/daniel# apt-get -f install
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Correcting dependencies... failed.
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libesd0: Depends: esound-common but it is not installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused
by held packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies

I cannot solve this problem and also I cannot install any package. Any
help? This has to be looked at as one of Debian's biggest weakness. We
boast about Debian easy upgradability but it does sometimes show Msoft
weaknesses. 

I have tried to install  esound-common but it cannot because of something
else, untlimately the system is un-upgradable. 
 Thanks,
