[Solved] Problem upgrade from 10.10 with kde 4.6.2 backport

Re: [Solved] Problem upgrade from 10.10 with kde 4.6.2 backport

Several 'basic' rules one should observe before attempting a version upgrade.

1) Ensure you are fully dist-upgraded in the current version you are running
then,
2) Disable all non-standard Ubuntu repositories (PPAs and/or 'other' repos)
then,
Open Software Sources and in the Updates Tab set Release upgrade to Normal Releases
save and close, then,
3) Open a terminal and type:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

This has always worked for me. I simply do no trust using KPackagekit for this (I don't use a graphical package manager at all for actual package management).

Tried what you suggested and got the following error:

Calculating upgrade... Failed
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
openoffice.org-common : Breaks: openoffice.org-dmaths (< 1:3.3.0-7) but 3.2-1 is to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

Any suggestions on how to fix??

Likely you have some third-party/non-standard repositories active. If so, you need to comment them so they are not used during the package update/dist-upgrade steps.
