Asked by saurov

Binary package hint: update-manager

Could not calculate the upgrade

An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

 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 against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report.

I can't help on update-manager, but since 9.10 (and specially from 11.04) you can upgrade from Ubuntu ISO image CD/USB key. Now, Natty offers at install an option "upgrade" which keeps user files. Update-manager is not always very good at distribution upgrade.
