From that thread (actually: the first post), did you read and follow "In order to satisfy all dependencies, both Ubuntu's universe and multiverse repositories must be enabled on your system. "?

BTW FWIW IMHO you should always first install SABnzbd / sabnzbdplus from the plain Ubuntu repo, without any PPA stuff. Easier, and first things first.

Thank you Sander, this solved the problem, no excuse for missing that part.

Glad it works. And I would say that universe/multiverse text is quite embedded and easy to overlook.

Now my question: what kind of Ubuntu are you running? Ubuntu Server? Reason: AFAIK multiverse and universe are enabled on Ubuntu desktop.
