I can't fix the problem that happened when I have upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04.1 (apt-get dist-upgrade). I'm becoming crazy.
Copy from log:

Actually I can not upgrade or install or remove without have these errors:
~# apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
glib-networking:i386 : Depends: glib-networking-services:i386 (>= 2.40.0-1)
Depends: glib-networking-common:i386 (= 2.40.0-1)

E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
Adding -f, these are the only differences from the previous error:
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies
I had found that there were the older PPA and I updated it:
deb http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic main
deb-src http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic main
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu utopic-security main
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu utopic-security main
#deb http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic-updates main universe restricted multiverse
#deb-src http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic-updates main universe restricted multiverse
So I used the following command for each packet that was generating an error according to dpkg –configure -a:
echo "libc6-dev hold" | dpkg --set-selections
and this is the result:
# dpkg --get-selections | grep hold
desktop-file-utils hold
glib-networking:i386 hold
gvfs-libs hold
gvfs-libs:i386 hold
libc-dev-bin hold
libc6-dev hold
libgcrypt11-dev hold
libglib2.0-0 hold
libglib2.0-0:i386 hold
libglib2.0-bin hold
libglib2.0-dev hold

libsecret-1-0 hold
libsecret-1-0:i386 hold
libudev1 hold
libudev1:i386 hold
libudisks2-0 hold
udisks2 hold
But, again, I have the some problems with upgrade, install and remove.
This is the only "strange" output that I have found:
# apt-get remove libc6-dev

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
I hope that some one can help me, I don't want to format :/

You seem to have libc6, udev etc from ppas. Do you? These are just too fundamental for coming from outside ubuntu.
I expect you will have to get rid of these ppas [from sources.list etc] and try again
