Then you are using a PPA. I suggest you contact the PPA maintainer to inform them.

Why are you using a PPA at all? The same version is in the Ubuntu repositories and will install without issue.

The installation of the libgtkmm-2.4-1v5 package seems to be broken on your system.

Try
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgtkmm-2.4-1v5
and then repeat

 ls -ld /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtkmm*

Does libgtkmm-2.4.so.1 show up?
