Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

Trying to upgrade to 10.10 Beta with

gksudo 'update-manager -d'

fails with the message

'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.'

This is NOT a duplicate of #614993 (although similar), since it has been fixed according to the bug report.

I have enabled the Ubuntu X updates repository and installed the latest versions of 'nvidia-current', 'nvidia-current-modaliases' and 'nvidia-settings'.

As a workaround, you can downgrade to the packages in lucid, upgrade to maverick, then reenable the x-swat ppa. That's depends on how well your hardware is supported in the current lucid and x-swat ppa in maverick

I can confirm the comment in #7 works for me as a workaround (I had the same logs files)

I'm having the same problem while tryng to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 using kpackagekit.
"'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.'"

Also tring with do-release-upgrade give me the same error.

I also tried to do a dist-upgrade after renaming all sources in source.list (changing lucid to maverick), i attach a file with the output of that command. Didnt proceed because i'm afraid that there could be problems during the upgrade.

I also attach the apt.log file in the dist-upgrade folder.

Hope that can help solve the problem

thanks in advance

Maverick is not supported anymore. Use upgrade to Precise.
