When trying to install 16.04, I get a message that I have 3 broken packages that need to be fixed but when I click on Fix Broken Packages I get an error message saying I have "held packages". Point is, how do I go about installing the new upgrade and fix this problem ?

Did you turn off all the extra ppas you might have added before the upgrade? Did you remove the hold on the packages which are "held"? For example:
sudo apt-mark unhold package_name
see How to prevent updating of a specific package? for other package managers.
Yes assuming dbus is the first package to unhold.

I have 4 packages held so, per your example would I type sudo apt-mark unhold dbus in the command line for each package ? – Todd Snyder Jul 25 '16 at 22:48
