Public bug reported: When running "update-manager -d" on 11.10 eventually an error will pop up in the initial checking that terminates the upgrade with a rather unspecific error about package problems. Looking closere at the log file, it looks like the prorpietary fglrx driver is the problem. After removing it, the update went fine.
