I had the same problem try removing libssh2-1 first

sudo dpkg -r libssh2-1
sudo apt-get -f install
etc....

I am still having this problem during apt-get dist-upgrade.

Synaptic also tells me that dependencies are not met for all three packages.

Currently only using these repositories:
pwnsauce main microverse macroverse restricted universe multiverse

and the Devel repository, (which I don't think does anything)

None of the Ubuntu repos are selected.
