Bug Description

[Description]
On Ubuntu 14.04.2 with updated kernel and X stack (LTS Enablement Stacks) package resolver fails to find *-lts-utopic package dependencies, aborts.

[Test case]
$ sudo apt-get -o debug::pkgproblemresolver=true install qtbase5-dev
(Log attached as apt.log)

[Workaround]
Manually resolve:
$ sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev libgles2-mesa-dev-lts-utopic

Possible catch all solution:
$ sudo apt-get install .*-dev-lts-utopic

[Speculation]
Control file of libgles2-mesa-dev-lts-utopic 10.3.2-0ubuntu1~trusty2 does look right imho:
http://debian-handbook.info/browse/stable/sect.package-meta-information.html

Guess APT just get overwhelmed by the possibilies and aborts before finding the right one.

Is there some SAT-solver, which could conform? Aptitude's resolver fails, too.
Could control files be tweaked to make resolving easier?

[Possible affected packages]
Possible all packages which have dependencies on *-mesa-dev for which there's an updated version in the LTS Enablement Stacks.
Roughly:
$ apt-cache rdepends .*-mesa-dev

I had this issue and then purged my system of the Intel Linux Graphics Installer packages, downgrading packages to the latest available in trusty-updates as appropriate. After doing that I was successfully able to install 14.04.2 using the Utopic HWE stack.
