Does apt-get give you a resolver prompt? That is, you type "apt-get
install -f" and it says "I would like to remove touchegg. Is this OK?"
(well, words to that effect). Try saying "N" at that point and see if
apt-get will present a different alternative.

Removing 1 package is probably the simplest solution, so apt-get is
presenting that as it's first choice of action. However, if you say no,
it may find that another way to fix the brokenness is, say, to add 2
packages and downgrade a third.

Keep saying No until you find a solution that you approve of or apt-get
runs out of options.
