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.)

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.
