Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
My upgrade attempt from:
from: Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid
to: Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick
with a: Lenovo ThinkPad T61p
with: nVidia G84M [Quadro FX 570M] (rev a1) graphics card
failed due to a dependency problem of this package:
xserver-
Workaround
==========
Just four steps:
1. Remove the nouveau package
sudo dpkg -P xserver-
2. Rename xorg.conf file, or Maverick will stay with a blank screen while booting (!)
sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/
3. Upgrade to Maverick
System=
4. After upgrading install the nouveau package again:
sudo apt-get install xserver-
Background
=========
There is no conflict in Lucid, but there are as soon as the Maverick repositories are enabled - so the upgrade has to fail.
Error message
===========

This can be caused by:
