The package roundcube-plugins-extra seems to both depends on an conflicts with the package roundcube-core, at least for the versions of them included in precise's distribution. I mean, roundcube-plugins-extra requires roundcube-core >= 0.5.1 (the repo contains 0.7.1), but roundcube-core conflicts with roundcube-plugins-extra <= 0.6 (exactly the version in the repo.
I bypassed apt and used dpkg to force installation. I downloaded the package manually and then used:
sudo dpkg -i --force-all roundcube-plugins-extra_0.6-20111030_all.deb

This seems to be working at the moment, but apt tries (and does) remove the package every time I run it.
Just to clarify: I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS FIX. It may work, but it's far from elegant. We either need an updated version of the roundcube-plugins-extra package or fixing the dependencies of the roundcube-core package. For the moment I think the safest is to assume both packages at their current versions really conflict and either not install roundcue-plugins-extra or download and use the tarball provided at the roundcube website.
