  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:
   mutrace : Depends: binutils (< 2.21.51.20110422) but 
2.21.53.20110810-0ubuntu3 is to be installed
  E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
  
- This is probably because mutrace has binutils-dev at it's build-depends
- package list.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential] Since mutrace cannot be installed, there is hardly 
anything that could regress further :)
