Ubuntu
update-manager package

can't upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10: Could not calculate the upgrade

Asked by doron rotem

* this is the error message i get:

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 against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report.

* i tried uninstalling openoffice but it didn't help.
* this is my sources.list:
