I was able to fix it by following the instruction 'sudo apt-get install -f' from the terminal (crtl+Alt+T).

The latestupgrade apply without issue now. Can set that report as "fixed". (only let it opened to grad the incoming dupes, then it will be closed as "fixed")

This is fixed in the new upload, but please do NOT use -proposed in development releases. It is not for users and will break your system.

If we don't enable 'proposed', how will it help the developers? It's not as if we users expect pre-released distributions to be flawless.

Testing development release is already helpful. Proposed only exists for
some automated checks. If the package doesn't have obvious bugs, it
automatically migrates to -release.

Makes sense - I have disabled Proposed in all my partitions and everything seems to be working well in four flavours of Ubuntu Trusty.
