Broken held back packages

Question

Since I upgraded to Precise 12.04, I've been having troubles with Unity3d, as my graphics card drivers don't seem to work. I've tried reinstalling them, downgrading them, and reinstalling unity. Whenever I try to do so, it won't let me, saying:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gnome-tweak-tool : Depends: gnome-shell but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Does anyone know how to solve the broken packages problem? I've looked everywhere and I'm desperate. Thank you for your attention.
