Investigating (0) libunity-core-6.0-8 [ amd64 ] < none -> 7.1.2+13.10.20131014.1-0ubuntu1 > ( libs )
Broken libunity-core-6.0-8:amd64 Conflicts on unity-common [ amd64 ] < 7.0.0daily13.06.19~13.04-0ubuntu1 > ( gnome )
  Considering unity-common:amd64 3 as a solution to libunity-core-6.0-8:amd64 2
  Holding Back libunity-core-6.0-8:amd64 rather than change unity-common:amd64
