    the dpkg error is a-bit misleading, what is missing isn't python but python-dev. Install python-dev with all it's dependencies.

  2. I would suggest this code for dependency Problems sudo apt-get install -f

    This may solve Your problem if the dependent .deb files are in the Linux repository
