Here is the error:

2009-10-31 09:02:46,384 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.'

And then:
Investigating dpkg
Package dpkg has broken dep on konqueror
  Considering konqueror 0 as a solution to dpkg 5501
  Upgrading konqueror due to Breaks field in dpkg

It appears for some reason that konqueror is making trouble, could you please try to remove it before the ugprade and see if that helps? If it does, please attach the upgrade log so that we can add a fix for the issues.

That worked brilliantly, at least after I fixed another problem - damned ATI Radeon HD 2400 and their incompatibilities with fglrx :-)

Oops, apologies for that last comment, it appears to have gotten some rubbish in it. I meant:

This can be closed at your leisure. As far as I'm concerned, it's fixed (not sure even why konqueror was installed, I'm a Gnome man). But if you need any further information to fix the root cause of the problem, let me know.

Cheers,
Al (a new and very happy Karmic user).

Thanks! I leave it open for now, I'm trying to reproduce the failure currently. What exactly is the problem with fglrx? Is that something that the user should be warned about? Did ati drop support for your card?

[Powerfield (powerfield)]

I'm pretty certain it was dropped support . When X kicked up, all I got
was corrupted graphics. It was working okay in the background since one
of the you could see movement when the mouse moved.

Changing the X device in xorg.conf from fglrx to radeon, uninstalling
the fglrx drivers and installing the radeon ones, fixed the problem.

There's quite a few messages floating around the net re ATI dropping
support for their earlier cards.

Cheers,
Al.
