Currently trying to install Cinnamon 3.0 from embrosyn's repo, https://launchpad.net/~embrosyn/+archive/ubuntu/cinnamon, on Lubuntu 16.10. I'm getting errors that I can't quite seem to solve myself, and I've spent enough time looking now to be comfortable about posting.
alex@alexUltraLin:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:embrosyn/cinnamon
This PPA contains unofficial (though probably closest to official) builds of Cinnamon releases for the latest two long-term (LTS) and short-term (STS) support releases, which currently means:
* Ubuntu 16.04, Xenial Xerus (xenial),
* Ubuntu 16.10, Yakkety Yak (yakkety).
New STS and LTS releases will supersede current releases, which will result in older releases no longer maintained.
Needless to say, I will do my best to build packages as timely as possible, but some lags are going to happen due to so-called "real-life obligations". Sorry for that. I despise them no less than you do :P
Xenial packages are tried and tested on my daily driver, but regardless, everything available here is provided "as is", without any warranty. It should NOT set your hard disk on fire or steal your puppies, but I can guarantee nothing.
Regarding Bluetooth: blueberry is the new Bluetooth configuration tool which replaces cinnamon-bluetooth. Users are strongly encouraged to use blueberry instead of the deprecated cinnamon-bluetooth package.
If you encounter some issues not documented on the official GitHub repositories (github.com/linuxmint), please let me know.

Seems all fine.

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 resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
cinnamon : Depends: cinnamon-screensaver (>= 3.2.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: iso-flag-png but it is not installable
Depends: gir1.2-xapp-1.0 but it is not installable
Depends: xapps-common but it is not installable
Recommends: gnome-themes-standard but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: gnome-terminal
Recommends: cinnamon-bluetooth but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Obviously a dependency issues. But why would it not be able to install the appropriate packages? It seems to want to install cinnamon-bluetooth, which is deprecated in favor of blueberry?
Any ideas how how to resolve this? I'm willing to bet it's something absolutely simple/silly.
