    Problem with upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10

    I got an error

    Upgrades calculation is not possible

    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

    Do you have non supported ppas in your /etc/apt/sources.list?

    Hi and Welcome !

    Could you attach etc/apt/sources.list file here?
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    deb-src Index of /ubuntu/ lucid multiverse
    deb Index of /ubuntu/ lucid-updates multiverse
    deb-src Index of /ubuntu/ lucid-updates multiverse
    So comment out to look like this.

    Then try upgradeing. If OK. You will have to add the Ubuntu Medibuntu repositories again (but do not uncomment the ones you commented out) but they will be newer repos corresponding with Ubuntu 10.10 instead of 10.04. Hope that is clear to you.

    OOPS. I missed this one also.

    Do the same as the above post and comment them out before the upgrade.

    Did you reload/refresh repositories?
    Code:
    sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get update
