Ubuntu – Ubuntu updates blocked apt-get

last week ubuntu asked to install some updates. After doing that a series of problem came out (everything worked fine before…) and now I can't use and apt-get command because or these "missing dependencies"…

These problems seem to be related to man-db, openssh-server, and r-base. The only thing I know is that the new version of R that Ubuntu tried to install (via package manager) was a beta version. I wasn't expecting such automatic suggestions, anyway…
This is what I get

Sorry for dumping so much codes but I'm basically stuck. ANY apt-get operation is blocked because of the above. It's simply ridiculous, because I didn't ask for any for these updates, I just confirmed what Ubuntu was saying "Important Updates".
