There was another user hitting the same problem and I've been thinking
on why this might happen. I think I do have an answer. At some point
openssl was updated and I think I forgot to include the i686 package in
the repository. If at that point you upgraded then the i386 package was
installed. Then I fixed the repository and added the i686 package. On
the next update cycle apt tries to install the i686 package but can't
because the i386 package is already there. Just a guess...

Try:
  apt-get --reinstall install openssl
That should fix it...

Most probably missing dependencies. You could try to manually install
them to see what is wrong and why are they kept back:
  apt-get install dvgrab
  apt-get install ecasound
and so on and so forth...
