Do you have by chance fuller log from the installation? I can't
understand why doc-base trigger was started when its dependencies were
broken (doc-base depends on libuuid-perl, which in turn depends on
perl-base (>= 5.14.2-3)). Also I'm not sure why  doc-base hadn't been
upgraded to 0.10.3 first.

perl-base 5.14.2-9 conflicts with doc-base (<< 0.10.3), and probably
that's why perl-base wasn't upgraded. But why apt can't see that
upgrading both perl-base and doc-base could solve the dependencies?
