You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 armory:i386 : Depends: python-qt4:i386 but it is not going to be installed
               Depends: python-twisted:i386 but it is not installable
               Depends: python-psutil:i386 but it is not going to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

LOL! I can imagine how that must feel to know you typed a -f and seeing apt just plow through all of those "WARNING: You are about to do something potentially harmful. ARE YOU SURE!?!?!" notices with reckless disregard!  You may want to head over to [ubuntu.se] at this point because I think the problems are beyond bitcoin/armory issues.   Try an `apt-get check` in the meantime which should report any remaining issues.

I'm not sure what is supposed to happen with `install` with no packages listed -- that doesn't seem to be in the docs at all. But another hint is in the future always run `apt-get update` before installing anything which syncs up your local package list with the latest available info.
