I'm trying to upgrade from 10.04 LTS to 12.04.1 LTS using the upgrade manager, and I get the following message.
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 using the command 'ubuntu-bug update-manager' in a terminal.
I read a couple of threads about this problem on Launchpad, so here is output from trying to upgrade in a terminal window.
$ sudo apt-get update
