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 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 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 or libxml-sax-expat-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 The following packages have unmet dependencies: base-files : PreDepends: awk libc6 : Depends: libgcc1 but it is not going to be installed Depends: tzdata but it is not going to be installed libxml-libxml-perl : Depends: libxml2 (>= 2.7.4) but it is not going to be installed Depends: perl (>= 5.14.2-6ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: perlapi-5.14.2 Depends: libxml-namespacesupport-perl but it is not going to be installed libxml-sax-expat-perl : Depends: perl but it is not going to be installed Depends: libxml-namespacesupport-perl (>= 0.03) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libxml-parser-perl (>= 2.27) but it is not going to be installed libxml-sax-perl : Depends: perl but it is not going to be installed Depends: libxml-namespacesupport-perl but it is not going to be installed Depends: libxml-sax-base-perl but it is not going to be installed Depends: ucf (>= 0.28) but it is not going to be installed libxml-simple-perl : Depends: perl but it is not going to be installed Depends: libxml-namespacesupport-perl (>= 1.04) but it is not going to be installed linux-headers-generic : Depends: linux-headers-3.2.0-29-generic but it is not going to be installed 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 ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1052033 Title: Cannot install libxml-simple-perl To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1052033/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
