I installed the latest gnome3 from webupd8's ppas and somehow borked my system.
while doing a ppa-purge it somehow decided to remove the ubuntu-desktop meta package
now while i'm trying to get back to pure ubuntu, i try this:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
and get this:
ubuntu-desktop : Depends: eog but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gnome-control-center but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gnome-session but it is not going to be installed
Depends: nautilus but it is not going to be installed
Depends: nautilus-sendto but it is not going to be installed
Depends: unity but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: gnome-screensaver but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: libgail-3-common but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: nautilus-share but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: totem but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: totem-mozilla but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: ubuntuone-client-gnome but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
trying to install any of these results in more held dependencies that will not install.
How do i "Unhold the broken packages" to get back to where nautilus can be installed?
