Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
I'm using Ubuntu Karmic, 9.10, and trying to upgrade to Lucid using update-manager or do-release-upgrade fails with the following message:
{{{

Could not calculate the upgrade
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
E:Error, pkgProblemResol
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

update-manager version is 1:0.126.9
Despite the fact it says the system was restored to the original state, my sources.list has the lucid entries, instead of the karmic ones I had before the upgrade attempt.
