Public bug reported: During 14.04 partial update, I encountered the following error :
Can't install 'ubuntu-desktop' It was impossible to install a required package. Please report this as a bug using 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal. Could not calculate the upgrade An 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 This is most likely a transient problem, please try again later. I tried updating through Synaptic and it worked ! Maybe a different dependency solver ?
