Dependency cycle upgrading to 10.04 LTS

Question

I've got the following error while attempting to upgrade from 8.04 to v 10.04. Is there anything I can do to resolve the issue?

Upgrading Ubuntu to version 10.04 LTS
Could not install the upgrades Error during commit
'E:Couldn't configure pre-depend jre for openoffice.org-writer2latex, probably a dependency cycle.'
Restoring original system state

Try installing a JRE (e.g., apt-get install openjdk-6-jre), possibly the one from the 10.04 repo, before trying the full upgrade. Does it work? — Riccardo Murri, Oct 04 '10 at 15:43

Try

apt-get remove openoffice.org-writer2latex
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install openoffice.org-writer2latex
