Then you don't have broken packages. Looking more closely at the error
you posted, it says you have /held/ broken packages. What packages are
marked as "hold"?
That can commonly happen if the archive is inconsistant, particularly
with unity packages where there are tight version constraints between
them. Typically they resolve themselves in a few hours and an install
will continue.
I would normally not advise to take any offered Partial upgrades. They
tend to lead to pain unless you intimately understand the output of
apt-get when resolving conflicts.
Good luck.

I'd agree with this.
I have up till recently, synaptic being rather broken, updated from a
terminal and then used synaptic to deal with upgrades.
Never had a partial that way that caused me issues - update manager is
prone to causing 'issues' during the dev cycle so I never use it, nor
the software-centre.
In the past I did it all from the terminal - but have been subscribed to
various synaptic bugs.
I'm sure there are reasons why I shouldn't but previously I did
sudo aptitude update &&sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
After installing aptitude ... sigh
Recently
sudo apt-get update &&gksudo synaptic
Good luck ;)
