Ugdating Issues

[cirehawk]

I tried to search the answer first and couldn't really find it (found similar but not the solution), but I'm having a problem updating.  I'm using PASS and I get the following error when trying to apply updates:

E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

How do I locate and repair the broken packages?  I have also tried the ibiblio (and others) mirror as well with the same result.

In the Synaptic window, at the lower left corner there are 4 buttons representing different views on the package list.
If you select "Custom" you can see a filter for Broken packages. Check to see if you have any info there.



Or, from terminal:

su (root password)
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

You should get specific errors about which package causes the issue.

Maybe your problem is related with this

Search for eigen3.
Unmark eigen3.
Apply the other updates.

eigen3 is an error/broken package (till now) on PASS

Synaptic showed no broken packages, but the tread you referenced contained the solution.  I did not have eigen3 installed, but eigen2 was.  The work around appears to be to uninstall eigen2, which will also uninstall kde-artwork.  Updates will successfully install after that, then eigen2 and kde-artwork can be reinstalled.  I said workaround because the thread states real issue is eigen3 being broken.  Until that is fixed, it seems I will have to go through this process everytime I need to do an update.

Thanks for the find!

eigen3 wasn't installed on my system, but eigen2 is.  Once I removed it I could complete updates.  Thanks for the input.
