As of Feb 2011, this problem still persists.

Upgrading from 10.4 to 10.10 breaks with this error: "An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks..."

As suggested above, it was fixed by removing: the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package.

Logfiles contain these entries, see attachment:
Package libdrm-nouveau1 has broken Breaks on xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
Package xserver-xorg-video-nouveau has broken Depends on xorg-video-abi-8.0
