Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager
Description: Ubuntu 7.10 Release: 7.10 Hi, I'm trying to update (using System / Administration / Update Manager) from 7.10 to 8.04, and getting this message: ---------------------------- A unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. This can be caused by: * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bugreport. ---------------------------- I'm not doing anything with pre-releases, and I don't think there's anything unusual on this machine that might be getting in the way. I've previously upgraded from 6.10 to 7.04 to 7.10 with pretty much the same stuff. I'm attaching main.log from /var/log/dist-upgrade. It ends with: 2008-10-04 13:37:14,941 DEBUG Marking 'ubuntu-desktop' for upgrade 2008-10-04 13:37:15,317 DEBUG The package 'nvidia-glx' is marked for removal but it's in the removal blacklist 2008-10-04 13:37:34,442 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'A essential package would have to be removed' I found /usr/share/update-manager/removal_blacklist.cfg and tried commenting out the nvidia-glx entries, but get the same error as above. Please let me know if you need to see more logs. I also found: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/249329 Relating to Intrepid, which made me think of looking for removal_blacklist.cfg and commenting out the nvidia lines. Thanks for your help! ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- "unresolvable" problem when upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278285 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
