Still getting partial upgrade message

[RobsterUK]

I'm running an install of the last beta (not RC) without any updates and update manager still only giving me the option of a partial upgrade, which I thought would be resolved by package issues settling down after the full release.

I've avoided doing any updates after breaking my install from running a partial upgrade before (lesson learned there)

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Sorry to bump, but anyone have any ideas on this? Its a few days after full release now, and I've still got this issue, so something is not quite right.

I installed 9.10 with WinXP and 9.04. It added another partition with 9.10. I was hoping it would upgrade my 9.04 but I may have done something wrong. Anyways, I got rid of WinXP (I am sooo happy) and 9.04 and installed 9.10 from scratch.

I am having the same issue as the topicstarter.

apt-get upgrade:

The following packages have been kept back:
libpulse-browse0 libpulse-mainloop-glib0 libpulse0 pulseaudio
pulseaudio-esound-compat pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
pulseaudio-module-gconf pulseaudio-module-udev pulseaudio-module-x11
pulseaudio-utils ubuntu-desktop
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 11 not upgraded.

Does anyone know what we should do? Is it safe to do the partial-upgrade now?

followed by a long list of packages...

Did you find a solution yet, RobsterUK?

No I'm afraid not, its looking like I may have to download the ISO of the full release and do a clean install, but that seems excessive, hopefully there's another way round it.

I still have this problem and a full reinstall is way too much work really..

What would happen if we just do this "partial upgrade" thing?

Same thing happening to me, I've done this and got to move on... but... maybe you can check it out

I performed the "partial upgrade" and this worked for me, only two packages were removed and apparently that was correct.
