Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
i'm running gutsy 7.10 (which was upgraded from feisty which was upgraded from edgy).
i ran:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
do-release-
which gave the message:
Could not calculate the upgrade
A unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.
as requested further in the message, i've attached the /var/dist-upgrade directory.

Thanks for your bugreport.
Please run "do-release-upgrade -m desktop". The default mode of the cli application is server mode and that behaves slightly different than a server upgrade.
