dist upgrade problem

[hotshot247]

i'm using ubuntu 11.04 64-bit and everytime i try to do a dist-upgrade from the terminal, it says,
"Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Failed
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ia32-libs : Depends: lib32v4l-0 but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages." i've been trying to fix this for a while with no luck. any help would be great! thanks.

Probably has something to with the multiarch support in Oneric.

Try removing ia32-libs along with the 32bit applications.

i'm using 11.04 not 11.10. do you think it would work on the version i have?

Yes, but you've tried upgrading, and the only candidate for upgrading from 11.04 is 11.10.

If you run
sudo aptitude safe-upgrade do you get the same error?
