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 resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
cinnamon : Depends: gir1.2-muffin-3.0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libcogl5 (>= 1.7.4) but it is not installable
Depends: libmuffin0 (>= 1.0.0-0ubuntu1~precise) but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: gnome-themes-standard but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: gnome-session-fallback but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I added this PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:merlwiz79/cinnamon-ppa
Then ran the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install cinnamon cinnamon-session cinnamon-settings
How can I install the latest Cinnamon desktop? How can I fix this error?
