I am using Ubuntu Ultimate x64. I see the update in my update manager but during the calculating before installing the update I get the following error: "Cannot Calculate the update" How do I fix this to install the update?
View 2 RepliesI tried to update to Ubuntu 11.04 from 10.10, and I got a strange error like "Unable to calculate changes, package ubuntu-desktop is needed but not going to be installed". Then the sistem claimed to return back to the previous state, but now ALL the package are marked as "upgradable", and the Software Updater is suggesting me to do a "partial upgrade". What happened? How I can get back with a coherent system? I don't installed the xubuntu-desktop, BTW.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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'?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm getting the following when trying to upgrade from 10.04 Beta1 to Beta2:
Could not calculate the upgrade
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
The package 'ubuntu-desktop' 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
Not sure how to resolve.
doing an upgrade from 10.4 to 10.4 LTS and got this error:
Could Not Calculate Upgrade
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:The package 'skype' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.
This can be caused by:

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 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:

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 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 am using ubuntu 9.10.While running a partial update through System->adminstration->update-manager. I am facing error as 'Error Authenticating some packages". Please find the attached, screenshot of the error and sources.list file output.

after initating the update and i enter my pass word, update stops and an error box comes up stating that it is unable to update because there is more than one synaptic manager running, i have restarted and get the same results, and to my knowledge there is nothing else running in the background.

It's been sometime since I'm getting this error.
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10
Currently whenever the auto-update comes and I let it go ahead I get the message that the update has failed to finish successfully. I also get a similar problem when I try to install programmes: the synaptic starts the installation process but then I get a fail message that is similar to the one I get when the update manager fails to do it's work Here below is an image of the "fail" message

GRUB RESCUE ERROR AFTER UPDATE.Sometime ago last year, i installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my Compaq Presario 2100 Laptop via Wubi. My CD Drive wasnt working. I had installed it on a separate partition on my hard drive so i could dual boot with Windows XP. I thought this would have worked well. And it did until i decided to update to 10.10. I selected my hard drive option...or what i thought was the correct one and left it to update overnight. I woke up the next morning to a grub rescue error and no way to boot into XP or Ubuntu.
I think i've screwed over the laptop. I can't boot from a flash drive, and i doubt an external HD would help since it wouldnt boot from the usb. And as i mentioned before, the CD drive doesn't work. So i can't reinstall from a cd or usb.Is there anyway I can recover either of my OS's? I don't mind Ubuntu or XP being my main OS.
