[Bug 876379] [NEW] Unable to upgrade to 11.10 using kpackagekit because a package is marked as downgrade

[Gobnuts]

Public bug reported:

When I tried to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 through kpackagekit, the I received the error message 
"Process exited with code 1".

Michael Vogt (mvo) advised me to file a new bug here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/873411
saying that my error stems from a package that is marked as downgrade. 

Thinking about his comment I realized that I do have such a package. I installed the clementine audio-player from their bleeding-edge repository  http://ppa.launchpad.net/me-davidsansome/clementine-dev/ubuntu/ 
Clementine is also packaged in the official Kubuntu repos. It is an older version than the bleeding edge one but it gets listed as newer, thus the downgrade, I think. 

I could try to uninstall clementine and do the dist-upgrade after that
if you want me to. For now, I'll wait until I get a response here.

There is no preferences file in /etc/apt/ but one in
/etc/apt/preferences.d/ which I attached here.
