Package 'zoneminder' is not installed, so not removed
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libc6 : Depends: libgcc1 but it is not going to be installed
         Depends: tzdata but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Actuvally it was installed. when i try
sudo apt-get -f install like this

root@cubieboard2:~# sudo apt-get -f install

You can try aptitude.
sudo aptitude purge zoneminder
sudo aptitude -f instasll
Sometimes it helps.

Can you help with this problem?
