I am following [here] to install crash dump on Ubuntu 1404:

sudo apt-get install linux-crashdump

However, it throws exception as below:

... unmet dependencies
linux-crashdump  : Depends: kdumptools but it is not going to be installed

PS: I have followed [here] to solve the problem, but it does not find any broken held package...

Update: my platform is Ubuntu 14.04 on Linux 3.16.0-generic.

Update 2: the following is the complete printout

app> sudo apt-get install linux-crashdump kdump-tools makedumpfile libdw1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
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:
 libdw1 : Depends: libelf1 (= 0.158-0ubuntu5) but 0.158-0ubuntu5.2 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

run sudo apt-get update first.

then [don't run this if you didn't want to upgrade the release ] sudo do-release-upgrade for updating the package. reboot.

then run sudo apt-get install linux-crashdump

on ubuntu 16.04 server
