    Upgrade not possible

    Hello. I tried upgrading from Breezy using the instructions given on kubuntu.org, changed my repositories from breezy to dapper, fetched updates, full upgrade, commit, and it does all the work of downloading the files etc..., but when it finishes and starts the upgrade, it suddenly says that the changes cannot be commited because some of the packages are broken or will be broken by the upgrade, what can I do?

    Have you tried
    Code:
    sudo apt-get -f install

        As an alternative, I would suggest running

        Code:
        sudo dpkg --configure -a
        after the packages have downloaded and you've exited from adept. The force install (-f) has, for me, broken packages. The dpkg configure has seemed a more gentle approach.
