I am trying to install development files which include the headers and the libraries for qgis in Ubuntu 12.04. I used Ubuntu software center, synaptic and the terminal and am still getting the same result.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libqgis-dev:
-Depends: libgeos-dev (>= 3.0.0) but 3.3.3-2~precise2 is to be installed
-Depends: libgsl0-dev but it is not going to be installed
-Depends: libqgis1.9.0 (= 1.9.0+git20120902+5a0d2f5~precise-ubuntugis1) but 1.9.0+git20120902+5a0d2f5~precise-ubuntugis1 is to be installed
-Depends: libqt4-dev (>= 4.4.0) but 4:4.8.1-0ubuntu4.2 is to be installed
-Depends: python-qt4 (>= 4.1.0) but 4.9.1-2ubuntu1 is to be installed
-Depends: python-qt4-dev (>= 4.1.0) but it is not going to be installed
-Depends: qt4-designer (>= 4.4.0) but 4:4.8.1-0ubuntu4.2 is to be installed
Can anyone help me with this installation?

According to UbuntuUpdates:
Package "libqgis-dev"
WARNING: the "libqgis-dev" package was deleted from this repository
Name: libqgis-dev
Description:
Quantum GIS - development files
Latest version: *DELETED*
Release: precise (12.04)
Level: base
Repository: universe
Head package: qgis
Homepage: http://qgis.org/
Maybe it's part of what's causing your problem? The package doesn't exist in the repository anymore.
Instead of using the Ubuntu sources , maybe you could switch to the official QGIS repository for Ubuntu ? See Instructions here. I don't use Ubunut, but i assume that the libqgis development files are available there.
If you follow the instructions on the Download page it should work:
Nightly builds of the Master are available from following repository (i386 and amd64):
Precise:
deb http://qgis.org/debian-nightly precise main
deb-src http://qgis.org/debian-nightly precise main
To add the the qgis.org repository public key to your apt keyring, type:
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 997D3880
gpg --export --armor 997D3880 | sudo apt-key add -
