[Bug 1072444] [NEW] Cannot upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10

[clem]

Public bug reported:

During the upgrade process, after the "Calculating the changes" step I
get the following error message:

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

...and the upgrade process stops.
