Public bug reported: Since a few days ago, every time I start the computer I get an update icon in the notification area, and an error message when I open it:
Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.' After closing the message box, update manager wants to upgrade every package in the system. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 $ apt-cache policy update-manager update-manager: Installed: 1:0.150.5.1 Candidate: 1:0.156 Version table: 1:0.156 0 500 http://ubuntu.mirror.cambrium.nl/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages *** 1:0.150.5.1 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:0.150 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main amd64 Packages ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: update-manager 1:0.150.5.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-13.53-generic 2.6.38.8 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-13-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Jan 17 04:17:19 2012 GConfNonDefault: /apps/update-manager/check_new_release_ignore=oneiric /apps/update-manager/first_run=false /apps/update-manager/show_details=true /apps/update-manager/window_size=(570,634) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110426.1) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_CA:en PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: update-manager UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug natty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/917592 Title: "Could not calculate the upgrade"/"pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/917592/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
