Default Debian Dependency Conflicts problem

After running following command:

apt-get dist-upgrad

It download lots of file and started to install them at the middle of it faild so I rebooted and tried to reinstall the same but no way it is giving me dependency problems.. I think apt-get dist-upgrade left some packages in /var/ directory and I don't know what to do next??

What command I should try? Following command is also not working

apt-get -f install

Please help... my exams are near and I don't wanna computer down

First try,

Code:
apt-get -f install
If that failed then try
Code:
apt-get install -t stable {package-name}
Even above failed then reconfigure an unpacked all package:
Code:
dpkg --configure -a
Hope this helps

If everything fails then you can force to remove apt-get with following command:
Code:
 
apt-get remove --dry-run {package-name}
Then again rerun dist-upgrade
Code:
 apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes dist-upgrade
