Can't Install kvm - Dependency on qemu-kvm
<p>I'm trying to setup KVM virtualisation on a Debian 7.7, running on Core(TM)i5-4402E CPU @ 1.6 GHz by following the steps <a href="https://www.howtoforge.com/virtualization-with-kvm-on-a-debian-squeeze-server" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p>

<p>After trying <code>apt-get install kvm qemu-kvm libvirt-bin virtinst</code>, I got</p>

<pre><code>The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 qemu-kvm : Conflicts: kvm
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
</code></pre>

<p>I then tried installing them one by one and managed to successfully install all of them apart from kvm.</p>

<p>Doing <code>apt-get install kvm</code>, I get the following output:</p>

<pre><code>The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 kvm : Depends: qemu-kvm but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
</code></pre>

<p>I've already followed <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2223449" rel="nofollow">this</a> thread, but these suggestions haven't worked for me. I've also tried</p>

<p><code>apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install -f</code></p>

<p>with no success.</p>
