Title:
  can't install recommended updates

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I get the following message boxes;

  Not all updates can be installed
  Run a partial upgrade, to install as many updates as possible.

  
  Can't install 'ubuntu-desktop'

  It was impossible to install a required package. Please report this as
  a bug using 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal.

  
  Could not calculate the upgrade
  An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.

   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

  This is most likely a transient problem, please try again later.
