Why are some updates not installable?

  • 772

Whenever Update Manager runs, I am always left with these three options:

update manager

They are obviously all related to Evolution, which does appear to still be installed, but I have never used it. This has happened ever since I upgraded to 11.10 (I am now on 12.04)

Why do these items appear and how can I remove them?

evolution update-manager 12.04

    Those are some library files that were somehow not uninstalled while evolution was removed or replaced. Ok here's what you need to do.

    1. install synaptic package manager from software center.
    2. Search for the evolution files showing up in the update manager(evolution-common, evolution-indicator.
    3. uninstall those files.
    4. run sudo apt-get update in terminal

    Problem solved ;-)

  2. I had the same problem a while back, re-installing the package fixed the issue.

    here's my experience: Update manager shows x86 virtualization solution -kernel modules for DKMS

  3. Your upgraded system may be unstable, so secure all data etc before proceeding. You can try some or all of the following:

    • sudo apt-get clean
    • sudo apt-get autoremove
    • sudo apt-get update
    • sudo apt-get upgrade
    • sudo apt-get -f install

    If you get error messages, please ask.
