Thank you 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 attachments? Thanks in advance.

The error also mentions held packages. If you type "dpkg --get-selections | grep hold" do you get any output?

Thanks for your bugreport.

Could you please open a terminal and run:
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
and attach the output of that?

Thanks,
 Michael

Michael,

Below, the output required:

" Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Failed
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  python-zodb: Depends: python-zopeinterface
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused
by held packages."

Best regards,

Hudson

Thanks for this additional information:

Could you please run:
$ apt-cache policy python-zodb python-zopeinterface

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

How did you install python-zodb? Via synaptic/gnome-app-install/apt-get/dpkg ?

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

Michael, this is likely a dup of bug 250751 . The same packages are failing but we don't know if it's the same source ( http://ppa.launchpad.net/schooltool-owners/ubuntu )

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks again!
