After going from 10.10 to 11.04, in the notification area I'm getting a red-warning message circle. What does this mean, and how to I resolve it?


Could not calculate the upgrade

An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.

Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.'

Still haven't gotten past this. What commands can I try to diagnose this?

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.
