I just tried upgrading from Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04.1 (i.e. from LTS to LTS).
It failed.
The error message I'm getting is:
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: The package 'update-manager-kde' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.
Google suggests that "apt-get remove update-manager-kde" should fix it [1], but that's giving me the following;
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Have I completely hosed my setup, and is a fresh re-install due? Or is there a way around this?
Thanks,
Greg
