When running update-manager
to upgrade 19.04 to 19.10 I get this in the console:
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.
Trying do-release-upgrade
:
$ do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.
So trying upgrade
:
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
The following packages have been kept back:
libsnmp30
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
In fact, it seems I cannot install anything:
$ sudo apt-get install emacs
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libsnmp30 : Depends: libsensors5 (>= 1:3.5.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
Trying with --fix-broken
:
$ sudo apt --fix-broken install
Correcting dependencies... failed.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libsnmp30 : Depends: libsensors5 (>= 1:3.5.0) but it is not installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies
Anyway, libsnmp30 seems to be the culprit. Trying to install libsnmp30
, I get this:
$ sudo apt-get install libsnmp30
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:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libsnmp30 : Depends: libsensors5 (>= 1:3.5.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Then trying libsensors5
:
$ sudo apt-get install libsensors5
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libsensors5 : Depends: libsensors-config but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Then trying libsensors-config
, this is the result which looks scary enough:
$ sudo apt-get install libsensors-config
The following additional packages will be installed:
policykit-1-gnome
Suggested packages:
lm-sensors
The following packages will be REMOVED:
apturl cheese chrome-gnome-shell colord default-jre deja-dup evolution-data-server gdm3 gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-1.0 gir1.2-mutter-2
gir1.2-mutter-4 gir1.2-rb-3.0 gir1.2-totem-1.0 gnome-initial-setup gnome-online-accounts gnome-session-bin gnome-shell gnome-shell-extension-appindicator
[ ... lots and lots of packages ... ]
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libsensors-config policykit-1-gnome
0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 120 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Jikes!

apt-get upgrade
is not doing what you think it does, if you want an release-upgrade from 19.04 to 19.10 the appropiate command isdo-release-upgrade
. But make sure you have completely updated all packes beforehand and fixed the installation/dependency issues, otherwise the upgrade will fail horribly. Make a backup of your data anyways, just in case as the release upgrade can fail still depending on your system setup.
