Title:
  pkgProblemResolver::Resolve "held" packages prevent dist-upgrade

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The following shows the situation with my broken packages, which,
  according to the dist-upgrade tool, prevent my upgrade to 16.04:

  nathan-xps% sudo apt-get install vim
  [sudo] password for nb: 
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree       
  Reading state information... Done
  vim is already the newest version.
  You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   cups-bsd : Depends: update-inetd but it is not going to be installed
   libcommon-sense-perl : Depends: perl (< 5.18.3~) but 5.22.2-1 is to be installed
   perl : Depends: perl-base (= 5.22.2-1) but 5.18.2-2ubuntu1.1 is to be installed
          Recommends: rename but it is not installable
   perl-modules-5.22 : Depends: perl-base (>= 5.22.2-1) but 5.18.2-2ubuntu1.1 is to be installed
   sane-utils : Depends: update-inetd but it is not going to be installed
  E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
