Several things I notice in this bug report:

1) "2006-10-06 11:43:03,283 DEBUG Can't mark 'ubuntu-desktop' for upgrade (E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.)"

You have marked some packages at Hold status. APT front-ends need you to manually unlock those packages, before they can proceed.

2) You are talking about upgrade-manager.

There is no such package. You probably meant update-manager and the logs you showed are indeed consistent with that application's log output.

And sure enough, update-manager's help shows:

update-manager --help
usage: update-manager [options]

options:
  -h, --help show this help message and exit
  -c, --check-dist-upgrades
                        Check if a new distribution release is available
  -d, --devel-release Check if upgrading to the latest devel release is
                        possible
  --dist-upgrade, --dist-ugprade
