have you added ebox-platform.com repositories to your /etc/apt/sources.list?

could you post the contents of the above file?

Since you already have samba, dhcp, etc. installed on this box and those are also part of eBox - you may be getting conflicts with existing packages.

I would try to uninstall any services like samba and dhcp that you haven't configured or aren't using yet, then try to install ebox again to see if the list of conflicts is reduced.
