I used -f because the output suggested I use it.

Here is the output from sudo apt-get install linux-image-586:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree      
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 consolekit : Breaks: udev (< 204-1) but 175-7.2 is to be installed
 linux-image-586 : Depends: linux-image-3.16.0-4-586 but it is not going
to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).

And from sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.16.0-4-586:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree      
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
