Title:
  Cannot install libxml-simple-perl

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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 at 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 or

  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

   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
