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:
julia : Depends: libopenblas-base but it is not going to be installed or
libblas3 but it is not installable or
libatlas3-base but it is not installable
Depends: liblapack3 but it is not going to be installed or
libatlas3-base but it is not installable
Depends: libcholmod1.7.1 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libarpack2 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I'm not able to install any of these libraries either manually, for example
when I try to install libarpack2 in software center I got this
libarpack2: Depends: libatlas3-base but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libgfortran3 (>= 4.6) but 4.6.3-1ubuntu5 is to be
installed
or with Blass
