[Bug 1172924] [NEW] Can't upgrade from ubuntu from 12.04 to 12.10

[dandrademiceli]

Public bug reported:

When upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10, the process crashes in step 3( Getting the new packages) and pops up the following message:
Could not calculate the upgrade

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 using the command
'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal.
