Upgrading Ubuntu: Not a bug – E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages
Looks like xserver issues are fairly common when attempting an upgrade from 10.4 to 10.10.
– Look at /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log file for errors.
– Remove the packages which say anything related to ‘held’
in my particular case it ended up being xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
