Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
Le paquet essentiel « hostname » est marqué pour suppression.
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
Si rien de ceci ne convient, veuillez signaler ce bogue concernant le paquet « update-manager » en y joignant les fichiers du dossier /var/log/
From apt.log (attached):
