Hi Brandon,
the problem you have below is pretty Apt-specific, because Apt requires specific packages to fill dependencies [rather than something like Gentoo, which is much more flexible in what will fulfill a dependency, and doesn't tend to get you into impossible binds like this one.]
If your setup is completely Planet CCRMA, you should bug Fernando and the CCRMA list about this, because it is likely that the packages for Fedora core have some mismatched deps.
If you mixed and matched packages from another provider, it is entirely possibly that you messed up some versions somewhere, and this problem will continue.
You can "tunnel" into apt to find where the root of the problem is, by typing "apt-get install 'blah'" for every package which shows up broken. This will at least tell you *why* it isn't being installed, and perhaps you can solve the problem that way.
good luck, d.

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 or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: gem: Depends: libfreeglut-1.3.so.0 but it is not installable E: Broken packages ##################################################
