That's funny, everytime I've had issues with apt-get, the -f install never worked. One time I had a real mess with k3b, I finally ended up following the broken dependency loop until I knew all the packages that were depending on eachother (about 5 or 6) and did apt-get remove with all those packages at once, and that got rid of them and I could install things again.
