Title:
Update Manager gives error, all sorts of programs are broken
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Binary package hint: update-manager
Hello, I am using Natty 11.04, according to configuration files,
however these problems started the first time I tried to upgrade to
11.04 from 10.10. The upgrade never did a graceful finish, so I am not
sure if the upgrade is truly finished.
The following error occurs on update-manager startup:
"An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.
Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.'"
This error started when I tried to upgrade to Natty. Since then a lot
of things have been broken. I have tried updating all packages, and I
have updated all that I can with sudo apt-get --install-suggests -f
upgrade and dist-upgrade. I had to do a dpkg --reconfigure -a (maybe
-d also)... I saved as much output as I could. I got some strange
errors from all over the place. I am not going to go into the vast
quantity of them.
"dpkg --get-selections | grep hold" produces nothing.
The following is an excerpt from my terminal:
"sam at orange:~$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
