the line "... to remove and 245 not upgraded" indicates that something in your package setup is not fully correct, maybe you have inconsistencies in the version of packages that are installed. To find out some more details please open a terminal and issue the following command

apt-cache policy zeroc-ice33 python-zeroc-ice zeroc-ice33 python

and then select all output and paste it into a new message of this question thread.

The problem is with the ppa nicotra-andrea/ppa-etreus:

The version of python-zeroc-ice 3.4.2-1etreus1 has a dependency on python << 2.7
The standard version of python-zeroc-ice 3.3.1-12build1 has a dependency on python << 2.8

Two possibilities:
1. disable the nicotra-andrea/ppa-etreus ppa in your software sources and try the installation again (should provide 3.3.1)

or

2. ask nicotra-andrea to correct that dependency in the ppa, because currently that package is not installable on a standard natty system (would deliver version 3.4.2)

You are right, removing the nicotra-andrea/ppa-etreus ppa solved the problem.
Thank you very much!
