There is a dependancy problem with those packages for whatever reason. Try an "apt-get -f install" first and see if it can fix it, or do an apt-get -f install of those packages first to fix it. Some of the packages may have become obsolete though, like the korean ttf fonts in place of something newer that wants to be installed.
