I can't upgrade 14.04 to 15.04. The error in dist-upgrade/main.log is
2015-12-23 08:26:38,315 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'The package 'ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.'
Possibly relevant:
2015-12-23 08:26:38,107 WARNING Can't mark 'ubuntu-desktop' for upgrade (E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.)
However I have no held packages at all (dpkg --get-selections | grep hold) and no broken packages (per synaptic status window not showing a Broken category), so I don't know what it's thinking. No other line in the file mentions hold/held/broken.
No other ERROR or WARNING in main.log. It does know that it's running in 'desktop' mode because of ubuntu-desktop.
I considered removing ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk in synaptic but it wanted to also remove ubuntu-desktop, which didn't sound like something I wanted to do.
