Can't upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 using update-manager -d

[Robert Everson]

When running update-manager -d I get an error saying that a package is marked from removal, but is in the blacklist. I got this on unity-2d first, but manually removed this, and now get it on another package.

I have upgraded from 11.10 (64 bit) to 12.04 (64 bit) using the upgrade process which advertised itself when my undate manager ran on 2nd May. The upgrade seemed to work perfectly, however the problems started on rebooting and starting 12.04.

12.04 seems to be unstable in that on some boots it reverts the screen resolutions and scal to some default which doesn't match my monitor and also hides the login fields, so I can't log in. Instead I have the menu at far right , just off the screen which allows me to shutdown and restart the syste. On restart, I get the login fields back, but only after I reverted the kernel back to the one which I was using under 11.10, which for me was Kernel 3.0.0.17

I would recomment people hold off upgrading to 12.04 for a while, as even if it works one day, it can revert to being unstable the next.
