Bug#143995: apt: cannot upgrade, "pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks"
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: serious
This is a woody box. Previous dist-upgrade was done on last friday. This
morning here is the problem:
# apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Calculating Upgrade... Failed
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
python2.1-tk: Depends: blt (>= 2.4u-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
# dpkg --get-selections | grep hold
# dpkg --get-selections | grep -v 'install$'
# apt-get install blt -u
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
blt8.0
The following NEW packages will be installed:
blt
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 1 to remove and 67 not upgraded.
Need to get 1244kB of archives. After unpacking 2286kB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
Requesting "dist-upgrade blt+" of "dist-upgrade blt8.0-" does not change a
thing. It looks like it will proceed correctly if I manually ask for
"install blt".
We keep the system in its current state if you want more information.
