Cannot upgrade 19.04 to 19.10 because of held back packages: libsnmp30
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

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!

You had a ppa
installed that got removed at some point (maybe on an earlier Ubuntu upgrade), but the packages installed from that ppa
are still on your system, resulting in dependency problems.
From your apt
outputs, it seems to be ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers.
Try adding that same ppa
again, it seems to be available for cosmic:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
Then run
sudo apt --fix-broken install
If that worked,
you can remove that ppa
and all its packages if you like using ppa-purge
sudo apt install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
At the end I'd issue to clean unreferenced packages:
sudo apt autoremove
