Attempt #2
=======
I tried again in order to write down more specifics on error messages. I hit the "Check" button to see what updates are available and got the following warning:
<block>
An error occured.
The following details are provided:
W: GPG error: http://
</block>
Fine. I hit the "Close" button and move on. Now, I get the original warning again:
<block>
Not all upgrades can be installed.
Run a partial upgrade, to install as many updates as possible.
This can be caused by:
* a previous upgrade which didn't complete
*Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
*Normal changes of a pre-release version of Ubuntu
</block>
I do have unofficial packages installed, and certainly, at least one previous upgrade did not complete. So, I move on with the partial upgrade by clicking the "Partial Upgrade" button. I enter my administrative password and a progress message appears. In the first step, I get this:
<block>
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 files in /var/log/
</block>
This is the same error I got in Attempt #1, so things are failing consistently. The contents of the lone file are listed above.
There you go. Enjoy!

10 minutes after my last comment to this bug I clicked on the update-icon and this time declined a partial upgrade. I then clicked on the 'Install' button in the Update Manager window and it updated smbclient, samba-common and libsmbclient from 2.2 to 2.3 The final comments in the Applied changes window stated "Processing triggers for libc6...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place"
initramfs-tools and initscripts remain 'greyed-out' in the Update Manager window and were not upgraded.
I'm a bull in a china shop and really don't have much knowledge of what I am doing. Thank god I'm not system manager at a critical establishment!
I hope this helps...
apt.log was unchanged from my last post
