E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generate cuttings, maybe by withhold package

This can be a duplicate of bug 721306 and bug 658458 (and a dozen similar ones)

If the package xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is installed, in several cases the 10.04 to 10.10 upgrade fails with the error message

"Could not determine the upgrade
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"

Several persons have reported that after removal of that package the upgrade was successful.

Try this workaround: Open a terminal and enter the command:

sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

and try the upgrade again.

Hello sorry about posting a bug that is known. I have put it into invalid althought I wish delete it.

Sorry

I Had the xserver.video.neoun package I have deinstalled that package and the update manager has become to life.

sorry for any inconvenience.

as written in bug 721306 comment #17 there is still a problem with upgrading. Therefore setting the status back to 'new' and removing the duplicate status

Hello
I'm carlos
I made the bug by mistake, because it is already open and I, by ignorance, duplicated it. and later I turn it into invalid state because I didn't know how to delete the bug. but I found a partial anwer in the forum. I mean partial because now I can not install any new program in the maverick. and that have solution as I may have overfound in a quick search, but honestly I can not advise you because I relative new in linux. sorry.
then what I have found is that 10.04 can't upgrade because there is a package called xorg.xserver.video was, I don't know why, making some problems with the upgrade. then I found one page that told me to de-install that package , add the the new sources of software of 10.10 and then make an actualitation. but now I can not install any program now.
I tink I may have corrupted the kernel. so I can not advise you in anything

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

@Carlos:
If wrote "can not install any program now".
What error messages are there?

Can you please open a terminal window and issue the following commands

uname -a
lsb_release -a
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Then select all text in the terminal window, copy it and paste it into a new message of this thread.

Hello

I'm very sorry but I fixed it. I install the ubuntu maverick from a CD in
the / partition so it leaves my archives in /home as they were. so I have
install the maverick without upgrading. I have not that problem anymore. I'm
so sorry. I'm sorry for making you waste your time. I did not realized of
this. I can't remember clearly what message ubuntu told me as I was triying
to install programs. and now I can install software and I think that making
the commands you sugest me don't make sense.

I remember that ubuntu was telling me that it can't not upgrade totally and
it must make an partial upgrade, but I can not remember all the messages, I
remember somethig about the software sources but not clearly.

I'm so sorry. tell me if I can do anything for you. I feel bad about this.
pardon me.

No problem, there is absolutely no need to feel sorry.
I am happy to hear that the problem dissappeared, respectively that you were able to solve it yourself.

Enjoy Ubuntu!

Carlos -

Muchas gracias: eres una de las *más de 200.000 personas* de toda Europa
que *están reclamando la prohibición definitiva de los plaguicidas
tóxicos*para las abejas.
*

*El tiempo se nos echa encima: *ya solo quedan 24 horas para que la
Comisión Europea se reúna* y decida un plan de acción en relación a estos
plaguicidas tóxicos. Antes de que se tome una decisión, debemos lograr que
las autoridades europeas se den por enteradas de esta ola de indignación
ciudadana. Por eso mañana queremos entregar en Bruselas las firmas
obtenidas durante la celebración del encuentro. Pero tienen que ser más,
muchas más. *Para conseguirlo te proponemos que nos ayudes con un sencillo
gesto*:

   .

Solo quedan 24 horas para asegurar el futuro de las abejas de nuestro
continente. No dejes que las voces de los lobbys de los fabricantes de
plaguicidas pesen más que la voz de los ciudadanos.

Gracias por tu apoyo,
Sector Apícola de COAG
