So what happened?
Disable the devel and install the stable version..

The devel has the future version and correctly doesn't allow you to install it since not all of its components have been uploaded yet.
The changes to be introduced are not backwards compatible.

there is a typo in the name. Should have been libgmp3c2.

do also to reinstall the smscon stuff as root:
Code:
 
apt-get install --reinstall smscon 
apt-get install --reinstall smscon-editor

Maybe you had installed (partially) from devel and now you have disabled that repo?
There is a newer version in devel.

what do you get for
Code:
apt-get -s -f install

The reason of it is explained above. Quick solution is to specify the version for smscon-editor via terminal:
Code:
apt-get install  smscon-editor=0.7-4
(you can check available versions by 'apt-cache policy smscon-editor' command)
