Let me rephrase that update-manager runs sudo apt-get update than runs sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. than it will resolve depends issues at that point but since dist-upgrade wasnt marking the held back packages it was failing to continue to fix depends thats why the crash report reports what it does. now that with new version of apt fixes the marking of heldback packages it should work fine after installing new apt package. update-manager isnt wrote to fix held back packages because apt (dist-upgrade) does that. if we have update-manager do apts job for it its just a recursive fix than you will have update-manager and apt (dist-upgrade) doing the same jobs.
