[Bug 845253] [NEW] gcc-4.4 prevents 11.10 upgrade "Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks"

[iMac]

Public bug reported:

In addition to using the "update-manager -d" this can be seen from the
apt command line after the change to oneiric sources.

E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

A simple remove solved it for me; I'm surprised that it couldn't
"calculate" this.
