Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Upgrade - Error "Could Not Calculate The Upgrade"
May 29, 2010
I can't upgrade. I get: Quote: Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: The package 'skype-common' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.
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
This is most likely a transient problem, please try again later. I tried again several times in different days and it is the same. I have 10.4 recently updated from my original installation of 9.10. I think it was not a pre-release, I did it automatically from the website and it took a long time. As far as I know, all I have installed is official, except perhaps Skype itself.

I keep getting the following msg as I try to upgrade from 10.04 -> 10.10 ... "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." I don't think any of the issues above apply - can anyone offer advice on how to get around or "force " the upgrade

I am trying to upgrade from 10.4 to 10.10. I have never had a problem upgrading before with the Update Manager. Now I get an error message when using the Update Manager. The message says, "Could not calculate the upgrade". See screenshots. I also checked the package manager for broken packages and came up with nothing.

I keep getting this message while I try to run updates. The Update Manager says I have 35MB to install but it doesn't do it. Can anyone tell me what the problem is and how to maybe fix it? Also, how do I 'report this bug against the update-manager package'?

There seems to be something connected with Skype. But I have exactly the same Skype I had with 9.10, where I updated every few days with no trouble. It is something peculiar in 10.4

After going from 10.10 to 11.04, in the notification area I'm getting a red-warning message circle. What does this mean, and how to I resolve it?

I am trying to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 beta. I tried ALT-F2 & ``update - manager -d'' but when Upate Manager opened, it did not give me the option of upgrading to 10.04 beta.

I'm running 10.04 and for several days now I get two packages that are grayed out and do not upgrade in upgrade-manager.
If I use the shell and apt-get I get the following message: The following packages have been kept back: firefox-gnome-support update-manager
The system is functioning well, but these 2 packages just linger as I process probably hundreds of lucid upgraded packages.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and 2.6.35-27-generic. When I run the Upgrade Manager, the 'Distribution Upgrade' window pops up and in bold letters reads 'Running partial upgrade'.
The next line reads '>Preparing to upgrade' and sits there. Mean while, the process begins to perform a great deal of constant hard drive activity. The window's horizontal activity bar reads 'Calculating the changes' at the bottom of the 'Distribution Upgrade' window.

I just did an upgrade of 9.10 amd64 system to 10.04. I'm pretty sure I messed up the grub2 upgrade.
When I try to start normally, I get an error like this:
Quote:
GRUB loading.
Welcome to GRUB!
Entering rescue mode...
Error: the symbol 'grub_puts' not found
grub rescue> _
I currently have 3 HD's on the system, all identical, with two of them in a software RAID.
Now, I *can* boot into 10.04 - by pressing F8 on startup, I can select the second of the three HDs, and it will start up normally.
When I do start up, everything seems to work fine, but whenever I reboot, I get the same grub error, and have to manually hit F8 and select the second drive.

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and did an upgrade yesterday via the Update Manager. Just installed all proposed upgrades. After rebooting, my newest kernel throws an error 16: inconsistent filesystem structure. When I select my previous kernel from the GRUB, no problems. How do I debug this error? Or better yet, how do I fix it?

Recently upgraded to 10.10 via Update Manager. After upgrade my Epson Stylus R340 printer wouldn't work. In main menu I went to System->Administration->Printing. Nothing was listed under printers any longer. Clicked Help->Troubleshooting. It suggested to go to System->Administration->Services. No Services menu was listed under System->Administration. In Terminal I ran [sudo lshw], no printer was listed. I then went to the Synaptic Package Manager and searched Epson and checked reinstall on all packages which were installed. The reinstall returned this error "E: gsfonts: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" followed by several package dependency problems. I then followed the same steps after a search for cups in Synaptic Package Manager. After those packages were reinstalled got the same error, "E: gsfonts: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1". That error was also followed by a list of broken package dependencies. Again I followed the same steps for all gsfonts installed packages. The reinstall produced the same results again.

I'm getting the following error which seems quite odd. Trying to change the server to my local country's update server results in the same error (with slightly different URL). I've also disabled any extra repositories I was using.Code:W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/ReleaseUnable to find expected entry extras/source/Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?When trying to upgrade to Natty I get the same error, just for the natty path:Code:W:Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/ReleaseUnable to find expected entry extras/source/Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)

While upgrading to a newer version of Ubuntu I noticed a warning saying that the installation/upgrade should not be interupted. Unfortunately though, during this process my computer froze up and I had to shut it down. Ubuntu no longer starts on my computer. I still have Windows though, which is what I'm using now.

I was trying to update from 9.04 to 9.10.
During the installation, I kept getting tons of errors. Finally something came up saying that I had to abort the installation and it did some stuff. I tried running an application, but I got an error. So I restarted the system.
The normal screen came up where I had to choose the Ubuntu stuff (I'm new to Ubuntu) in the box. I noticed that it had gone to 8.10... which I had earlier before installing 9.04, which went great. So I chose the first on and the system failed to start. I rebooted and tried all the other options, but they all had errors. Now I'm booted to Windows.
I installed Ubuntu from a CD I created. But it is now outdated because it is 8.10, and I have already upgraded to 9.04. 9.04 to 9.10 is where stuff went wrong.
