[Bug 996916] Re: postgresql packages in the removal blacklist making it hard to upgrade

[Peter Fodrek]

Thank you information about PostgreSQL told me to uninstall all packages depending on PostgreSQL and pgsql as well.  This allowed me to start install process. Is it impossible to add information to possible causes " PostgreSQL packages installation may block upgrade" 
Then there will be not such problems as my duplication of this bug as of bug 1310239.

Another recommedation is to add button for list of installed unsupported
packages or button - uninstall unsported packages (my hurt some of your
programs until package reinstall)

Title:
  postgresql packages in the removal blacklist making it hard to upgrade

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

Bug description:
  I have got this pop-up error message while updating from Ubuntu
  version 11.04 to 11.10:

  Could not calculate the upgrade

  An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
  The package 'postgresql-plperl-8.4' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.

   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

  If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the command
  'ubuntu-bug update-manager' in a terminal.
