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:
 maven : Depends: libaether-java but it is not going to be installed
         Depends: libplexus-containers1.5-java but it is not going to be installed
         Depends: libsisu-ioc-java but it is not going to be installed
         Depends: libwagon-java but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Try the following commands:

#sudo apt-get remove maven2
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/natecarlson/maven3/ubuntu precise main"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install maven3

If you encounter this:

The program 'mvn' can be found in the following packages:

maven

maven2

Try sudo apt-get install {selected-package}

#Just add those lines in /etc/profile
export M2_HOME=/usr/share/maven3
export M2=$M2_HOME/bin
export PATH=$M2:$PATH
