Can't fix broken packages. Uninstalled packages require many removals to reinstall
Hi guys,
about a moth ago my printer stopped working. I downloaded an HP installer and it apparently made a mess on my computer.
I've read somewhere to do a "apt-get install -f" to fix things. I don't know if it was that or the HP installer, but many things were removed from my machine.
The list is:

when I try to install something from synaptic, it says
"you have held broken packages"
but "apt-mark showhold" and "dpkg --get-selections | grep hold"
don't show any result.
I've tried then to reinstall each of them using aptitude.
Starting with brasero, I got:
'The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libgnutls-deb0-28 : Conflicts: libhogweed2 but 2.7.1-5 is to be installed.
Conflicts: libnettle4 but 2.7.1-5 is to be installed.
libgnutls30 : Conflicts: libhogweed2 but 2.7.1-5 is to be installed.
Conflicts: libnettle4 but 2.7.1-5 is to be installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Keep the following packages at their current version:
1) brasero [Not Installed]
2) brasero-cdrkit [Not Installed]
3) libbrasero-media3-1 [Not Installed]
4) libcurl3-gnutls [Not Installed]
5) libhogweed2 [Not Installed]
6) libnettle4 [Not Installed]
7) libquvi-0.9-0.9.3 [Not Installed]
8) librtmp1 [Not Installed]
9) libtotem-plparser18 [Not Installed]'
When I accept this, I get a lot of logs(ending with "Current status: 1360 updates [-1].") but nothing happpens. Brasero is not installed.
When try to install libhogweed2 2.7.1-5 in synapic it says that to install
it I must remove a very large amount of things, including icewasel (my main browser)
Can anyone help me?
