Synaptic and update manager could not calculate the upgrade for libgnutls

Could not calculate the upgrade

An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.

Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.'

Ubuntu Precise 12.04beta amd64

In synaptic checking the dependencies gives a number of broken dependencies epescially for libgnutls-dev and including the wine1.4 conflict returned by apt-get dist-upgrade.
Synaptic is also trying to install version 26 when version 28 is available.

Please find below the results from running the following apt-get options.
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install dselect
sudo -i apt-get build-dep libgnutls-dev

Hope this helps

Description: GNU TLS library - runtime library
 GnuTLS is a portable library which implements the Transport Layer
 Security (TLS 1.0, 1.1, 1.2) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0 protocols.
 .
 GnuTLS features support for:
  - TLS extensions: server name indication, max record size, opaque PRF
    input, etc.
  - authentication using the SRP protocol.
  - authentication using both X.509 certificates and OpenPGP keys.
  - TLS Pre-Shared-Keys (PSK) extension.
  - Inner Application (TLS/IA) extension.
  - X.509 and OpenPGP certificate handling.
  - X.509 Proxy Certificates (RFC 3820).
  - all the strong encryption algorithms (including SHA-256/384/512 and
    Camellia (RFC 4132)).
 .
 .
 This package contains the runtime libraries.

My bad

It seems that a restart fixed the problem.

libgnutls packages are now installed up to 2.12.14-5ubuntu3.

Sorry for the chatter.
