I am trying to upgrade my machine from 10.04 to 12.04 LTS but I get the following error. The same error occurs both in GUI and in terminal while doing dist-upgrade.



E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, 
this may be caused by held packages.


I've tried to remove libcv-dev as suggested in a comment to this blog post but I don't have libcv-dev installed on my machine.



Package libcv-dev is not installed, so not removed

Fast reads of UbuntuDesktop Upgrading leads to idea that if your current installation has not version 10.04 LTS, then first you should upgrade to version 11.10, and next to 12.04 LTS.



This error looks like "unmet dependencies trouble".

Possible common solution is:

1. Clean your sources lists and APT cache to leave only "genuine" Lucid sources.

2. Upgrade your distribution.
