"Could not calculate the upgrade. "12.04 ->14.04- openmpi dependency issue

Correct, in title, "12.04 LTS ->14.04"

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

From Aptlog.txt:

Investigating (0) libboost-mpi1.46.1 [ amd64 ] < 1.46.1-7ubuntu3 > ( libs )
Broken libboost-mpi1.46.1:amd64 Depends on libopenmpi1.3 [ amd64 ] < 1.4.3-2.1ubuntu3 > ( libs )
  Considering libopenmpi1.3:amd64 1 as a solution to libboost-mpi1.46.1:amd64 2
  Added libopenmpi1.3:amd64 to the remove list
  Fixing libboost-mpi1.46.1:amd64 via keep of libopenmpi1.3:amd64
  MarkKeep libopenmpi1.3 [ amd64 ] < 1.4.3-2.1ubuntu3 > ( libs ) FU=0

Re OpenMPI: That makes sense. I have Gazebo, the robot simulation system installed, which pulls in ROS, the Robot Operating System and a lot of numerical tools. That probably pulled in OpenMPI at some point.

Gazebo is a standard Ubuntu package in 12.04LTS, which is the recommended Linux distro for Gazebo.

Yepp, removing all ROS packages makes it possible to upgrade to 14.10. This is because ROS indigo is not supported on 14.10.

People say that ROS is the issue, so I am removing it now, and if you didn’t know, you have to type
"sudo apt-get remove ros-*"
OR
"sudo apt-get purge ros-*"

Eric,

  Thank you very much for answering. ROS is exactly what caused it in my
case. I since removed ROS, and I am currently running 15.04 as I type this
message right now.
