[Bug 1653360] Re: cannot upgrade to 16.10

[Burt Silverman]

I found a way to get around the problem. I look at the Broken/Conflicts
packages in /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log. One by one, I attempt to
remove them from the system using synaptic. If a removal will cause a
few other packages to get removed, and those do not include the Ubuntu
Desktop, I go ahead and allow them to be removed. I remove a sizable
fraction of the problem packages. Then I retry doing the dist-upgrade.
Eventually, even though there are some Broken/Conflicts, the dist-
upgrade process is willing to go through. Hopefully, important basic
packages that I have removed get reinstalled during the upgrade. Seems
to have worked AOK.
