when running update manager, I get the following error message: "E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages."

The problem began after booting from an older external drive with Ubuntu 10.04 installed... Upon removing the external drive and booting (from hard drive as I usually do) into Ubuntu 11.04, the update manager issue started. I also noticed that my firefox profile had been reset (may not be related). I used computer janitor to clean some packages and ran it about 3 times until all was clear. still, the problem persists.
