So I have a clean Ubuntu 64bit 12.04 VM ... please explain why the installation fails following simple instructions on the Ubuntu site? (http://developer.ubuntu.com/apps/create/get-the-sdk/). As a former C# developer I would like to show my colleagues how easy this stuff is, but it just does not seem mature enough if you need to perform contortions to install the SDK. Or am I doing something wrong?
For those interested the issues I get are ones of unmet dependencies because of conflicting version of a library (see below). But to be honest I am more frustrated that the development environment does not work out of the bag, like the python or Microsoft development environments.
sudo apt-get install qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-ui-toolkit-plugin

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.
qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-ui-toolkit-plugin : Depends:
qtdeclarative5-unity-action-plugin (>= 1.1.0)
but 1.0.0bzr25precise0 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Update: I have already been through all the similar questions in this site and none of them address this issue. I have tried even the detailed ones like this: How do I resolve unmet dependencies after adding a PPA?
I am trying this on a clean 12.04 LTS 64bit VM, so there should be no conflicts.
