Could not calculate the upgrade 11.04 to 11.10

[Khaled Janania]

While upgrading to 11.10 kubuntu, package manger ran into an error
Upgrade was done via the normal route for the gui (Open KPackage --> Click upgrade)
The text of the error:

An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. 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 If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the command 'ubuntu-bug update-manager'

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

I have same error when trying to upgrade, so here comes my logs

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

@Torben could you please file a new report as this is a generic error message which can be triggered in many different ways. Please also add the whole content of /var/log/dist-upgrade/ thanks.

Thanks for your bugreport.

Could you please try removing the (obsolete) libcupsys2 ?

[Torben Ingemannsen (torbeq)]

Hi

I have tried to remove package libcupsys2 with kpackagekit, and to perform an upgrade,
result was that the upgrade proceeded past the point of the "Could not calculate" error, after this I aborted the upgrade since I would like to test the fixed Cups package made for Bug 874835.

Since this bug is almost fixed, I will not make a new bug report unless requested to do so again.

Thanks for great and fast support

Package test response will be given in Bug 874835

Sorry about taking so long to add my logs... here they are. I don't think it has to do with libcupsys2 for me (which I get an error for when I try to remove, sorry if that's irrelevant)
