What distribution are you using? From the messages, it looks as though it
could be Debian Sid or Wheezy, or possibly Ubuntu. You could try
$ sudo apt-get install asterisk-core-sounds-en-gsm
and see if that helps.
What you might well have going on is a repository conflict, where apt wants to
install incompatible packages from different repositories.
I've personally never bothered with pre-compiled Asterisk packages. Just
apt-get purge it (so that apt won't interfere with your installation in
future), and build the latest version from the Source Code.
