Issue
I get the following errors when trying to install yaws 1.98 on Ubuntu 12.04.
bash$ sudo apt-get install yaws
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
yaws : Depends: erlang-yaws (>= 1.92-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Solution
Since you're holding broken packages, you might want to try the advice provided here to fix that problem, and then try again to install Yaws.
