Unable to install canonical-certification-client on 14.04.2, failed with dependency error

[Po-Hsu Lin]

When I tried to install canonical-certification-client on 14.04.2, it failed with some dependency issue with cheese libraries
However, those libraries are already installed.

I think this is an issue.

Two clues may be useful:

1.
Yung installed canonical-certification-client successfully with preseed(satellite installation)

2. follow these steps could install canonical-certification-client on 14.04.2
a. install 14.04.2 by live USB
b. sudo apt-get install canonical-certification-client (then you will reproduce this issue)
c. sudo apt-get purge unity-control-center gnome-control-center
d. sudo apt-get install canonical-certification-client ( now it will be installed)
e. sudo apt-get install unity-control-center (get this package back.)

2nd clue of comment 3 messed up my GUI : (
no desktop now

For workaround, please to Yung's comment in bug 1428972
