Title:
  Unmet dependencies for libcheese-gtk23 and libcheese7 on 14.04.2

Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I bumped into this issue while trying to install canonical-
  certification-client from our PPA [1]

  ubuntu@201307-13942:~$ sudo apt-get install canonical-certification-client

  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:
   unity-control-center : Depends: libcheese-gtk23 (>= 3.4.0) but it is not going to be installed
                          Depends: libcheese7 (>= 3.0.1) but it is not going to be installed
  E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

  However, the version number for these two packages are bigger than the
  required version number:

  ubuntu@201307-13942:~$ dpkg -l | grep libcheese-gtk23
  ii  libcheese-gtk23:amd64                                 3.10.2-0ubuntu2                                     amd64        tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam - widgets
  ubuntu@201307-13942:~$ dpkg -l | grep libcheese7
  ii  libcheese7:amd64                                      3.10.2-0ubuntu2                                     amd64        tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam - base library
  ubuntu@201307-13942:~$

  I have no clue for how this happens. I thought it was a problem to our
  PPA (bug 1427524), but I think we're not alone [2]
