Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

How do I solve it?
Your sources.list file contains a mixture of lucid and maverick sources
for example
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted
and
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick-security main restricted
I would recommend you replace the contents of sources.list with the recommended list (see linked question below).
Change all references for "maverick" with "lucid"
Then reopen your sources.list and change the download server to the nearest country where you are currently based.
finally run
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
to ensure your repositories are successfully sync'ed
