Bug Description

Running the Update Manager, this message is shown me:

"Not all updates can be installed
Run a partial upgrade, to install as many updates as possible.
This can be caused by:
-A previous upgrade that didn't complete
-Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
-Normal changes of a pre-realese version of Ubuntu
[Partial Upgrade] [Close]"

I clicked in "Partial Upgrade"

And:

"Could not calculate the upgrade
A unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.
Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bugreport."

I don't know how to solve this problem.

Thank you for reporting the bug and helping make Ubuntu even better. I suggest that you perform the following:
$ sudo apt-get clean
$ sudo apt-get update

Please verify you have no GPG errors after running 'apt-get update'. If you have no GPG errors, go ahead and run update-manager again and report back if you still have the problem.

Well, I run "...apt-get clean" and "...update", but the error was NOT solved!

Based on the above error, it looks like you may have Debian and Ubuntu lines in sources.list. Please post your /etc/apt/sources.list.

That's right now!
It was really checked, now it's working. Thanks!
But I have other problem always when I install or remove some software.

That's the error when I run "Add/Remove".

I am glad that removing the debian line helped. My feeling is that the problem you are currently having is a result of having mixed Debian and Ubuntu packages.

At this point I am going to close this bug. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but it would make more sense to raise your question in the support tracker. Please visit https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+addquestion, and do indicate that you had been using the Debian repository. If it is indeed a problem with the Ubuntu packages, please issue separate bug reports for those packages.
