edubuntu-desktop-kde prevents upgrade from 8.04->9.04 (for some people)

[George Vrinchev]

Binary package hint: update-manager

I was trying to upgrade kUbuntu 8.04.1 to 9.04 but it gave me this errore message:
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. the package 'edubuntu-desktop-kde' is marked for deleting, but is in the black list for removing. This can be caused by:" Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu.

and this is the second file in the /var/log/

Thank You Michael Vogt for the reply.
Probably I have to install kubuntu at a fresh system.

@tedy58: its probably enough to remove the edubuntu-desktop-kde package before the upgrade. I investigate a better fix now.

Edubuntu 9.04 is no longer supported + we are still waiting for feedback from the user.
