As of Feb 2011, this problem still persists. Upgrading from 10.4 to 10.10 breaks with this error: "An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks..."
As suggested above, it was fixed by removing: the xserver-xorg-video- nouveau package. Logfiles contain these entries, see attachment: Package libdrm-nouveau1 has broken Breaks on xserver-xorg-video-nouveau Package xserver-xorg-video-nouveau has broken Depends on xorg-video-abi-8.0 lspci output for video card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400 GS] (rev a1) ** Attachment added: "main.log and apt.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/614993/+attachment/1832406/+files/dist-upgrade-logs.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to libdrm in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/614993 Title: 10.04 -> 10.10 upgrade fails: pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks: xserver-xorg-video-v4l demoted to universe _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
