In syslog we can see the following:

Jan 16 20:11:34 ubuntu ubiquity: WARNING:root:can't add account-plugin-aim (E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.)
Jan 16 20:11:34 ubuntu ubiquity: WARNING:root:can't add account-plugin-facebook (E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.)
....

This appears for hundreds of packages.

Any idea what could be the cause?

Sorry, I'll google that error more when I get back home.
