How to fix apt-get upgrade/install fail error related to linux-headers-server unmet dependencies

I was trying to upgrade my Ubuntu server and got this error this morning: You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies:  linux-server : Depends: linux-image-server (= 3.2.0.69.82) but 3.2.0.76.90 is installed                 Depends: linux-headers-server (= 3.2.0.69.82) but 3.2.0.76.90 is installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. I ran the apt-get -f install  command over and over but It kept failing. Then I found the solution: $ sudo aptitude install linux-headers-server aptitude is smarter at dependency solutions than apt-get. It fixed the issue and the server is fine now.
