Wasted too much time on this same situation with held broken packages.

Re-installing, hopefully it gets fixed upstream and doesn't recur.

Title:
  Broken dependency in libdbi-perl for 13.10...

Status in “libdbi-perl” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  fearl at fearl-Precision-M6600:/etc/apt# sudo apt-get install libdbi-perl 
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree       
  Reading state information... 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:
   libdbi-perl : Depends: perlapi-5.14.2
  E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
  fearl at fearl-Precision-M6600:/etc/apt# 

  Reason for issue: Package appears to be expecting the 5.14.2 Perl API-
  13.10 appears to be shipping with version 5.18.1 of Perl.

  This breaks ANYTHING using Perl with a DB access component to the
  scripting.  Includes many things including X2Go server, squishdot,
  etc.
