Unable to install the proposed Trusty LTS kernel on Precise

[Po-Hsu Lin]

With ESM ppa added, -proposed enabled on a Precise testing node, I can't install the 3.13.0.166.156 kernel, it will complain about some dependency issues:

$ sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-lts-trusty

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 linux-image-generic-lts-trusty : Depends: linux-image-3.13.0-166-generic but it is not going to be installed or
                                           linux-unsigned-image-3.13.0-166-generic but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

And if you try:
$ sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.13.0-166-generic
It will show that the problem lies within linux-base

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 linux-image-3.13.0-166-generic : Depends: linux-base (>= 4.5ubuntu1~12.04.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Version 4.5ubuntu1~12.04.1 for linux-base seems not exist in Precise.
