Public bug reported:
This notebook machine is not running X, it was broken at some point of
time in the past with some usual nvidia mess, but otherwise it is
healthy, package manager seems to be happy and up to date with 16.04, so
an upgrade should not crash like this.
it proceeds with fetching boinc.tar.gz then makes sure system is up to
date then downloads the boinc package lists and tries to calculate the
changes twice, but reports an unresolvable problem while calculating.
/var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log says
ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve
generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.'
Well, that could be the case, but it would be nice to tell more than
that. There is more info, much more in apt. log in the same place, but
it is a pitty that the package manager is not able to resolve this on
its own... Thanks.
