Did " sudo apt-get install libgsf1.114-dev=1.14.8-2" not work?

As a workaround, just remove libgsf-doc .  If you really want it back,  
you can reinstall it after you're done with the libgsf1.114* packages-- 
though it's affiliated with the old, obsolete, libgsf-1.10.1.

I'm not sure why libgsf-doc depends on libgsf-dev, since it's supposed  
to be BuildDependsOnly.
