Hi folks, I'm attempting to upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 -> 20.04. The 18.04 has been brought completely up to date, and has no broken packages. However, when I run " sudo do-release-upgrade -d", the system starts preparing for the upgrade then bails out. The log file shows: 2021-06-20 09:39:31,393 DEBUG Marking 'ubuntu-desktop' for upgrade 2021-06-20 09:39:31,850 DEBUG Marking 'xubuntu-core' for upgrade 2021-06-20 09:39:32,694 WARNING Can't mark 'xubuntu-core' for upgrade (E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.) 2021-06-20 09:39:32,694 DEBUG Marking 'xubuntu-desktop' for upgrade 2021-06-20 09:39:33,631 WARNING Can't mark 'xubuntu-desktop' for upgrade (E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.) 2021-06-20 09:39:33,632 DEBUG Marking 'ubuntu-mate-core' for upgrade 2021-06-20 09:39:34,559 WARNING Can't mark 'ubuntu-mate-core' for upgrade (E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.) 2021-06-20 09:39:34,561 DEBUG Marking 'ubuntu-mate-desktop' for upgrade 2021-06-20 09:39:35,491 WARNING Can't mark 'ubuntu-mate-desktop' for upgrade (E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.) 2021-06-20 09:39:39,951 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'Broken packages after upgrade: xubuntu-core, xubuntu-desktop' 2021-06-20 09:39:39,952 DEBUG abort called However, I don't have any broken packages - both the graphic packages manager and CLI searches confirm this. Trying to run the upgrade from the GUI just crashes. Can I do this the debian way, and alter the sources file and do the upgrade that way? Many thanks, Jenny

I'd try this and remove those packages, do the upgrade and add them back. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/18988... Adam --
