Update Manager says 'Not all updates can be installed'
I have 11.04 installed with Gnome 3 and everything was working fine until I tried to run the update manager. Now I can't update any of my packages. A similar question was posted awhile ago but no solution was presented

After installing each of the packages (via sudo apt-get install [package]
) that were held back, everything seems to be normal. So why did I have to reinstall everything? I'm assuming it has todo with gnome3 since every package was installed via their repo.
I have found sometimes the package manager cannot cope with the extent of the changes a particular PPA is requesting to be updated.
For example, the manager starts processing a file, but gives up claiming wrong dependencies - without further analysing that a later package/or packages in the PPA would have fulfilled that dependency.
In these cases, you should do the following - run in a terminal
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
This will give you a list of packages that it cannot install.
Go through the list one by one trying to install it i.e.
sudo apt-get install <package name>
Once you have done this, repeat the update/upgrade commands and repeat the remainder of the packages/new packages it is requesting. You may have to do this a few times until all the packages are installed.
