Public bug reported:

While upgrading to 14.04, I got the following during the 'upgrade' phase
of the installation :

WARNING:root:can't add zenity (E:Unable to correct problems, you have held 
broken packages.)

This was already reported in Bug #847475 but apparently never looked at.

I don't know if the "Unable to correct problems, you have held broken
packages" have something to do with the issue, but the traceback does
bring failure to the 'apt-clone' phase.

The system is installed and usable with one single user, but the rest of
the environment has not been recovered

Since the problem happened during installation, running ubuntu-bug is
mostly useless.  I can have the logs in /var/log/installer available if
needed
