Wheezy to Jesssie upgrade problem


Hi!

I changed my sources.list pointing to Jessie.
apt-get upgrade...
After apt-get dist-upgrade I get following message:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
perl : Depends: perl-modules (>= 5.20.2-3) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

What should I do?

Thanks

Can you post your sources.list?
Also try
Quote:
apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade

You could try:
Code:
# aptitude full-upgrade
It will propose several solutions to the dependency problem -- read them through and say "yes" to the most acceptable (or post the suggestions here).

EDIT: Please post your sources.list here first though, as EDDY1 suggests.

It is recommended to always read the release notes before doing major upgrades. If you do so, you will find that the command for the final upgrade is
Code:
apt-get dist-upgrade
Using the upgrade option instead of dist-upgrade will lead to packages that are not upgraded, added or removed as they should be.
