Bug Description
I've not booted one of my machines since June, when I attempted to upgrade I problems like:
libedata-cal-2.0-1: Depends: libedataserver-
apt --fix-broken install was recommend but did nothing useful,
pop-store attempted to upgrade but aborted.
I was able to resolve it by doing: "dpkg --configure -a", then apt --fix-broken install
It might seem that this is an upstream problem, but I suspect the reason I don't have this problem with ubuntu is that popos moves through versions faster. It might help the less technical users if the pop-store could try the dpkg --configure -a in the middle of the an upgrade over many versions.
