Can't Upgrade from 22.04 to 22.10?

Question

I'm currently trying to upgrade from 22.04 to 22.10 (just because I'd like to), and for some reason, I have 20 packages that no matter what I try, they will not update, which is holding me back from upgrading. I've tried everything it says to update them, delete them, etc. and nothing. Any advice?

When I run sudo apt update, I get this result:

When I run sudo do-release-upgrade, I get this:

Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.

Any advice would be wonderful.

Thanks!

    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 r-base-core : Depends: libicu66 (&gt;= 66.1-1~) but it is not installable
 E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I've updated my post to where it specifies everything, as user535733 has asked. — Gmoore23, Jan 26 '23 at 20:05
The output of these re-formatted as "code" to make them readable. — Hannu, Jan 26 '23 at 21:46
You mention running apt upgrade, have you run apt full-upgrade as there are cases where upgrade cannot install all upgrades as is documented (read man apt or if you prefer man apt-get where the older command is apt-get dist-upgrade). Next is to check you didn't put the holds on those packages (apt-mark showhold etc) — guiverc, Jan 26 '23 at 21:48
@Nmath I just tried that exact thing and it says that I "have held broken packages." — Gmoore23, Jan 26 '23 at 21:56
I didn't think I had changed any interpreters, is there any way to fix that if I did? And I will do that shortly. — Gmoore23, Jan 26 '23 at 22:21

Take a look and see if you can locate the problem.

You're running a 22.04 ("jammy") system
You have a source that says https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu focal-cran40/

See it? "focal" instead of "jammy"

You are running R packages that are for the wrong release of Ubuntu AND from a non-Ubuntu source. Double-whammy. That's why they are "kept back". That's why you are seeing the "impossible situation" paragraph.

Preserve your data.
Uninstall ALL R packages from that wrong-version source. (https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu focal-cran40/)
Disable or delete that source.
Run sudo apt update because you just changed your sources.
Run sudo apt clean to remove those wrong-version packages from your local cache.
Re-install the R packages. Without that wrong-version source, your system will install them from the compatible Ubuntu repositories.

This should solve most of your problems.
