This looks like a system that was only partly upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04. To resolve the problem you will need to complete the upgrade.

  1. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and replace all occurrences of lucid with precise.

  2. Edit all files in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory and apply the same replacement as above.

    If any of the above files have an Ubuntu code name other than precise, change them to precise as well.

  3. Edit /etc/apt/preferences and remove any pinning which you may have done.

  4. Finish the upgrade:

    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
    
  5. Restart the computer.

Now try installing your software again.
