Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
Update manager tells me it could not calculate the upgrade, and gives a
vague variety of possible causes, but a quick perusal of the dist-
upgrade logfile pinpoints precisely where the stoppage occured [1]. If
it is beyond scope of update manager to parse the results of the logfile
and respond accordingly, it should at least tell users to inspect it.
At least I didn't go very far down the road described in the
troubleshooting threads I was reading. The sign post for that road might
read "keep uninstalling the programs which might be causing the problems
and try again".
[1] The problem:
2008-05-03 22:13:39,777 DEBUG The package 'nvidia-glx-new' is marked for
removal but it's in the removal blacklist
2008-05-03 22:14:02,990 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'An essential package
would have to be removed'
** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
