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

apt.log was already there, and I'm now attaching main.log now that I noticed there was a backup folder in the /var/log/dist-upgrade. The only additional file in that directory is a 0 byte term.log (since it aborted when calculating the dist-upgrade, before starting the upgrade).

There must be a file called apt-clone_system_state.tar.gz too? it is the system state before the upgrade.

Looks like libhdf5-serial-1.8.4 is the offender. Its no longer available and apt wants to keep it rather than remove it (as it has this bias towards keeping stuff installed that is not ideal in a situation like this).

Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki) wrote :

There's apt-clone_system_state.tar.gz but it's not in the timestamped backup directory so it's from the following run. I can attach it if needed, but it seems the problem can be identified also without it.

Fwiw, the apt from git-current can calculate the upgrade correctly, non-downloadable packages are penalized stronger here when the question of keep vs remove arises.

For flightgear, the problematic package is libnetcdf6, which was replaced by libnetcdfc7.

Because of this, there is a domino effect that causes libgdal1h to not be installed, which then causes libopenscenegraph99 to not be installed, which then causes flightgear and simgear to not be installed.

This isn't a flightgear bug, it's an apt/ubuntu-release-upgrader bug, and according to #8 is already fixed (in later releases, obviously this won't help 12.04 -> 14.04).

Removing flightgear and reinstalling it after the upgrade should be fine as a workaround, since flightgear would be being upgraded anyway.

Just for info: as my dist upgrade from 14.04.05 to 16.04.01 didn't work ("2016-08-28 03:49:44,202 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'E:Fehler: Unterbrechungen durch pkgProblemResolver::Resolve hervorgerufen; dies könnte durch zurückgehaltene Pakete verursacht worden sein.'") i tried lots of things without success. Then I found this bug thread but it didn't help me either. But it inspired me to check "installed (upgradable)" packages with synaptic which showed one package that was not in "main": minetest! After I deinstalled minetest, finally do-release-upgrade continued without the pkgProblemResolver::Resolve error!
