The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ia32-libs : Recommends: ia32-libs-multiarch but it is not installable
Breaks: nspluginwrapper (< 1.4.4-0ubuntu2) but 1.2.2-0ubuntu9 is to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

All my sources are ubuntu oneiric.

This is a report of the same problem

I am receiving this error too. When upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10. Broke my update manager :(

Here's an official bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/873883

The reporter says that removing ia32-libs allows the upgrade to complete. Is this a recommended workaround?

Removing ia32-libs worked for me.
