[Bug 874646] Re: Upgrade to 11.10 says I cannot proceed

[Andrew Liles]

Walter, I had quite a few files in that directory:
/var/log/dist-upgrade/
├── [       4096]  20111014-2022
│   ├── [      39094]  apt.log
│   ├── [    1321224]  apt-term.log
│   ├── [      79425]  history.log
│   ├── [      49085]  main.log

│   └── [          0]  term.log
├── [     507933]  apt-clone_system_state.tar.gz

├── [       2660]  lspci.txt
├── [       9748]  main.log
└── [          0]  term.log

I actually ran the install a second time shortly after.  It seems that
the logging for my second attempt (which still showed the same issue) is
in the 20111014-2026 folder, so I have attached those two non-zero size
files

Title:
  Upgrade to 11.10 says I cannot proceed

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

Bug description:
  I am told:
  ---------
  An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
  E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

   This can be caused by:
   * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
   * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
   * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
  ---------
  I happened to successfully upgrade to 11.04 release a few days ago, does this mean I have inadvertently put myself in scenario 1 or 2 ?  And sure I probably have some other non Ubuntu-provided software.  

  Is a more detailed error report available somewhere, then I could try
  to eliminate the cause?
