Don't use apt-get to fix the problem.  Apt-get doesn't allow broken
dependencies... and if you pass -f, *what you specify on the command line
is expected to be the solution to the problem*.

So you told it to remove cbb, removing cbb didn't fix the indeterminate
state, apt-get told you so.

Use dpkg to remove the cbb package.
