Has anybody been able to install Pg 9.3 beta .debs on Ubuntu 12.04

when I try to select postgresql-9.3 (9,3~beta2-2.pgdg12.4+1) for
installation I get error saying

...
The following packages have unmet dependencies:postgresql-9.3 : Depends: postgresql-client-9.3 but it is not going to
be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.



I have tried it earlier on a system with multiple extra repos defined and
so thought that this is my setup specific.

Today I tried it on fresh install of 12.04 with only pgdg PPA added and
still I can't add
any packages from 9.3 series.

I did successfully install versions 8.4, 9.0, 9.1 amd 9,2 side by side

I seem to recall not adding "9.3" explicitly to the sources.list line as
causing this problem. Is this you sources.list line:

deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ precise-pgdg main 9.3

This is recommended by:
