Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

I have a fully updated hardy AMD64 box. When trying to run the upgrader (via sudo update-manager -d), I received the following message:

Could not calculate 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

If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report.

After browsing through the log briefly, it appeared to me that usplash was the main cause of the breakage.

I manually removed usplash before starting the upgrade and it's now fetching packages and chugging along.
