Could not calculate the upgrade

Calculating the changes

Could not calculate the upgrade

An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken 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 using the
command 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please add the log files from '/var/log/dist-upgrade/' to this bug report as separate attachments? Thanks in advance.

[Alexandre Moraes (amcsng)]

Solved !

I remove the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package , and the upgrade worked.

Thanks a lot.

I'm trying to upgrade Kubuntu from 13.10 to 14.04. I'm on an Intel 64-bit desktop machine.
There are no broken packages that I can see. Just "unresolvable problem".

Hi Victor

Actually you tried to downgrade.

Hi Alexandre!
Can you explain it, please? My distro now is 13.10 Saucy. I'm trying to do an upgrade.

[Alexandre Moraes (amcsng)]

Hi Victor.

I am reading your last mail.
To my understanding, you have installed Ubuntu 13.10 and want to install
Ubuntu 12.04?

[Alexandre Moraes (amcsng)]

Hi Victor.

Simple way.

You can do it manually.

First generate a list of what you have installed on your system. You can do
this by typing the following in the terminal.

sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep '[[:space:]]install$' | \awk '{print
$1}' > package_list

copy your /home and /etc folder to a backup media.

Re install ubuntu 12.04. Restore your backup (remember to set the correct
premissions). Then run the following to reinstall all the program you had
before.

cat package_list | xargs sudo apt-get install

Note that you might have to do some cleaning of the /etc and /home folder
for incompatible settings.

Hi Alexandre!

No. I'm trying to upgrade to the latest version -- from 13.10 Saucy Salamander to 14.04 Trusty Tahr.

I'm using the Software Updater in Kubuntu that does it by issuing the following command:

do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE

[DaveC (dcrooke)]

/var/log/dist-upgrade from ThinkPad W510 running trusty

[DaveC (dcrooke)]

do-release-upgrade output to terminal

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Harry Rockefeller (harry-rockefeller)]

I ran apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
apt-get autoremove
and then rebooted.
I still have the same error.
I've run apt-get check and also updated my current version of kubuntu just today.

[Robert Nelson (r-nelson40)]

I checked in /var/log/dist-upgrades/apt.log and it was getting confused by gnuplot, gnuplot-x11 and gnuplot-nox. I don't remember why I ever installed gnuplot, so I uninstalled them and the upgrade can now be calculated

[Arturo (arturo-mart-diaz)]

Solved !

As Alexandre Moraes.
I remove the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package then the upgrade works, from Ubuntu 14.04 using i3wm.

Full set of commands:
$ apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
$ apt-get autoremove
$ apt-get autoclean
$ apt-get update
$ do-release-upgrade

Best regards!

my failure is for upgrading 23.04 to 23.10
