Could not calculate the upgrade

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

Please attach the files from:

Thanks.

Requested logs attached..

[RedSingularity (redsingularity)]

There are a lot of old files in there. Run this to clean it out:

sudo rm /var/log/dist-upgrade/*

Then try and upgrade again and if it fails attach the new files in that directory.

The package is on hold for some reason. Try running this:

sudo apt-get install mountall

Then run:

dpkg -s mountall

[RedSingularity (redsingularity)]

Yeah, thats on hold too. Run this:

sudo echo upstart install | dpkg --set-selections

Then: sudo apt-get update

Now try to upgrade the machine again. If it fails, attach the /var/log/dist-upgrade logs.

Upgrade worked, but after restart server haven't started. Unfortunately as it's virtual server I am unable to connect and find out what's wrong until SSH server starts. So I had to restore backup.

[RedSingularity (redsingularity)]

Thanks for confirming the upgrade worked. Since its not a bug, but rather dependency issues, I am closing this report. Feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
