Bug description:
  lucid to precise i386 daily upgrade testing

  Upgrade fails with "pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this
  may be caused by held packages."

  From apt.log
  Investigating (9) dpkg [ i386 ] < 1.15.5.6ubuntu4.5 -> 1.16.1.2ubuntu5 > ( admin )
  Broken dpkg:i386 Breaks on dpkg-dev [ i386 ] < 1.15.5.6ubuntu4.5 -> 1.16.1.2ubuntu5 > ( utils ) (< 1.15.8)
    Considering dpkg-dev:i386 29 as a solution to dpkg:i386 7205
    Upgrading dpkg-dev:i386 due to Breaks field in dpkg:i386
  Investigating (9) dpkg-dev [ i386 ] < 1.15.5.6ubuntu4.5 -> 1.16.1.2ubuntu5 > ( utils )
  Broken dpkg-dev:i386 Depends on libdpkg-perl [ i386 ] < none -> 1.16.1.2ubuntu5 > ( perl ) (= 1.16.1.2ubuntu5)
    Considering libdpkg-perl:i386 12 as a solution to dpkg-dev:i386 29
    Holding Back dpkg-dev:i386 rather than change libdpkg-perl:i386
