If you haven't tried it yet, you could also give aptitude a try.
Sometimes aptitude finds solutions where apt-get already gave up. But be
careful though, such solutions can be a bit destructive sometimes. So
read carefully before hitting 'y'.

Also, aptitude has a 'why-not' command, which may be helpful for finding
out why your kernel package does not want to be installed.

In conclusion, my recommendation would be to try:

1. aptitude why-not linux-image-3.16.0-4-586
and
2. aptitude install linux-image-586
