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:
schooltool :
Depends: python-schooltool (>= 1:1.9) but it is not going to be
installed
Recommends: python-schooltool.gradebook but it is not going to be
installed
Recommends: python-schooltool.lyceum.journal but it is not going to be
installed
Recommends: python-schooltool.intervention but it is not going to be
installed

installed those virtual packages only.
I get again message:

3) python-schooltool.intervention [Not Installed]
