Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

It seems that if update-manger should remove packages to install some updates it says
"not all updates can be installed

run a partial upgrade, to install as many updates as possibile
...
...
..

Partial Upgrade - Close"

In fact last days I had to install some updates but double-clicking update-manager icon I always had the message above. So I ran Synaptic, marked all updates, and then applied all of them: at the summary I could read that synaptic had to remove a package (libclamav3) to install a new upgraded version (libclamav5). So I think the problem is just that update-manager cannot remove packages.

found that was caused because I needed python 2.5 and installed using
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
in my /etc/apt/sources.list file from a recommendation online

OUCH
remove that line do a
sudo apt-get update

now all is well again

If all possible it would be nice for update-manager to be able to recognize these problems easier and inform the user
