Title:
  when running update manager, I get the following error message:
  "E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be
  caused by held packages."

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The problem began after booting from an older external drive with
  Ubuntu 10.04 installed... Upon removing the external drive and booting
  (from hard drive as I usually do) into Ubuntu 11.04, the update
  manager issue started. I also noticed that my firefox profile had been
  reset (may not be related). I used computer janitor to clean some
  packages and ran it about 3 times until all was clear. still, the
  problem persists.
