sudo apt-get -f install

You should also report a bug as you have packages that overlap.

It seems that the version that you tried to install in coming from a PPA ( I assume https://launchpad.net/~pmjdebruijn/+archive/ubuntu/gnome-color-manager-release )

You should discuss this with the person responsible for that PPA.

Can you help with this problem?
