It's a problem that doesn't generally occur in a release.  Nevertheless, in
this case it's known that the recommends are not installable when the

  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I got the following error message pop-up:

  ----------
  Could not calculate the upgrade

  An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
  E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

   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 using the command 'ubuntu-bug update-manager' in a terminal.
