Hi,

I managed to upgrade xubuntu, but it was with lots of trouble.

The best way is to do that not under X. So go to the console with
"CTR-ALT-F1", login and get root:

sudo su -

Then try to install aptitude. The software is great, and you can see
what is conflicting. Try to solve the conflicts manually. I need e.g. to
deinstall a Package from multiverse, before I could complete the
installation. I also needed to run aptitude, and dpkg and apt-get many
times.

Just keep trying. Use "b" in aptitude to see if you get the problems
resolved.

Good luck,

Claudio
