Yesterday i tried to do a dist-upgrade to 15.10, and it got broken.
The fact is that the hard disk had no much free disk space (around 650mb), and the upgrades are over 1500mb.
Upgrade manager didn't work, so I entered,
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sed -i 's/vivid/wily/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
and seeing that it was accessing Wily, I upgraded packages by hand (first dependencies and libraries), and all remaining packages later.
The upgrade worked almost fine, except one thing: previously I had to uninstall some larger packages I had installed (like Gimp, Inkscape, Scribus, Blender, Krita, Openshot, etc.) and I can’t install them back:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
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:
libgtk-3-0 : Depends: libmirclient9 (>= 0.17.0+15.10.20151008.2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
Is there any way to fix this? Or the only way is to do a fresh install over it?
apt-mark showhold
. After that, notify me with a comment containing "@ByteCommander". Thanks.apt-cache policy libgtk-3-0 libmirclient9
and the output ofsudo apt-get install -y libmirclient9
