Steve,


There might should be a warning especially about this conflict. This
because the edger package causes Ubuntu to start in only 2d mode and
with an awful lot of warnings and errors in .xsession_errors file.

I experienced this when upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04.1.

Maybe there should be a list of "dangerous" ppa/debs that must be
uninstalled the correct way before an upgrade (or even the
update-manager system could fix this?)

Title:
  Cannot upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04.1

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When I am doing an upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04.1 I am seeing this error:
  An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
  E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken 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 against the
  'update-manager' package and include the files in
  /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report.
