Can't update via Synaptic

[Aradalf]

Well now kjpetrie that got me closer.  Now I  have a list and chose the first one only.  After it loads and I mark all upgrades I then tell it to apply all upgrades.  Then I get this error message.  What is your next suggestion?

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

That means you waited too long to upgrade your install. You can either download a fresh iso or you can update in increments until you get it fully updated. Click on the custom button in Synaptic and select upgradeable upstream and do a few at a time.

Well, I should just let the experts explain it.

Ooops.  I was wondering about that.  In all honesty would I be better off just reloading a fresh version then?

Maybe you can add that "RESOLVED" to the title of your first post, so everyone can see it's solved.... 
(you can do that by modifying your first post)
