I haven't used Ubuntu in a while but debian is my normal OS, which is similar. Anyway, it'd be helpful if you could cut-n-paste the entire terminal sessions to either a pastebin or to this forum when requesting these kinds of help. Oftentimes, someone who's very familiar with how the system works will see a specific detail if you post the sessions rather than just saying "it's the same message". In any case, I'd consider ditching that PPA and just building from source. On debian I'd get the source version of that bitcoin package and then do builddep to install dependencies. After that you just make && make install.
Let us see some sessions, please!

Thank you knight, but it still doesn't work.

did you try update, upgrade, and autoclean that I suggested above?
Also try removing everything again. uninstall bitcoin-qt and libboost, just to make sure they are gone.

Yes, I did update, upgrade and autoclean.
I also tried to re-install bitcoin-qt again, but it's not working.

try doing install with aptitude instead of apt-get. Just replace all of the apt-gets with aptitude in the commands.
When I try to install aptitude this is what it says:
Code:
Package aptitude is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Try just

Please, explain how you are trying to install it. Source code? PPA? .tgz? I'd say you have already added Ubuntu PPA and you have run apt-get install bitcoin-qt, is this correct?
You are installing on Ubuntu 15.04, right?
I'm going to replicate your issue on a virtual machine and I will let you know how I have solved it, but I will need to know where you are and how you got there.

Thank you very much for your help! If anyone solves this problem, I'm gonna send a tip to him.
Anyway, you guessed it right.
I've already added Ubuntu PPA using this command:
Code:
sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
Then I updated Ubuntu's software package lists, using the following command:
Code:
sudo apt-get -qq update
And finally I tried to install bitcoin-qt using the following command:
Code:
sudo apt-get install -y bitcoin-qt
Then I get the message I already wrote in the previous post and it cannot install the client.
I am installing the wallet on Ubuntu 15.04, 64-bit.

Do you only want to install from source code? There is an official Ubuntu PPA you might be able to study it to see what dependencies it installs.
