Public bug reported:

Kubuntu 12.04.1

The only additional repository I have is for virtualbox-4.1.  I also
have the partner repository enabled.

I have run apt-get update, apt-get upgrade,  and apt-get dist-upgrade.
These report my system is fully up-to-date.  I have also run apt-get -f
install and nothing was done.

I have no logs in /var/log/dist-upgrade.  The logs in /var/log/apt show
no errors.

However sudo apt-get install libxml-simple-perl returns:

phl@vid:~$ sudo apt-get install libxml-simple-perl

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libxml-simple-perl : Depends: libxml-sax-perl but it is not going to be 
installed
                      Depends: libxml-libxml-perl but it is not going to be

installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

If I try to install all of libxml-simple-perl, libxml-sax-perl, libxml-
libxml-perl and libxml-sax-expat-perl, I get

E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by 
held packages.

I checked linux-headers-generic and linux-headers-3.2.0-29-generic; they
are both installed.  Perl itself is obviously also installed and is at
version 5.14.2-6ubuntu2.1.  libxml2 is at version
2.7.8.dfsg-5.1ubuntu4.1.

This is a reasonably fresh install of 12.04.1 from just the past couple
of weeks
