Can never seem to upgrade the distros and would appreciate some help

Hi I've been trying to upgrade from Trisquel 10 to 11 but whenever I tried the following commands:
sudo apt dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Error!
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.
libodbcinst2 : Breaks: odbcinst1debian2 (< 2.3.9-1~) but 2.3.6-0.1build1 is to be installed
libwmflite-0.2-7 : Breaks: libwmf0.2-7 (< 0.2.12-1) but 0.2.8.4-17ubuntu1 is to be installed
unixodbc-common : Breaks: odbcinst (< 2.3.9-1~)
Breaks: odbcinst1debian2 (< 2.3.9-1~) but 2.3.6-0.1build1 is to be installed
Breaks: odbcinst:i386 (< 2.3.9-1~)
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
I've also tried:
sudo do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new Trisquel release
Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.
I have placed a # in front of every line of all of the files within /etc/apt/sources.list.d , unless I was suppose to rename each file with a # in front; but now I'm at a loss of what to do.
I had this same problem with on an older distro and It looks like I will have to make a back up and make a fresh install again but I really don't want to keep doing this every single time I need to upgrade the distro.
Is there anyone who can give me advice on what to do to resolve this?
Any help will be well appreciated.

Have you tried to remove (some of) those packages? Their reverse dependencies, which would be removed as well, will be listed. Go ahead if you are OK with removing them (you could reinstall them after the upgrade), otherwise do not confirm.
Thank you Magic Banana
I'd be happy to temporarily remove them. I have tried using:
Sudo apt purge libodbcinst2 libwmflite-0.2-7 unixodbc-common
But all I get is:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package 'libodbcinst2' is not installed, so not removed
Package 'libwmflite-0.2-7' is not installed, so not removed
Package 'unixodbc-common' is not installed, so not removed
Am I doing something wrong?
.....or was I suppose to remove 'odbcinst1debian2 libwmf0.2-7 odbcinst odbcinst1debian2 odbcinst:i386'
Because those packages I do have (but I can't seem to find the latter, but I think that relates to odbcinst)
Alright, I did try removing the latter packages ('odbcinst1debian2 libwmf0.2-7 odbcinst odbcinst1debian2 odbcinst:i386'), executed 'sudo apt dist-upgrade' and now I get this:
(A huge swarm of package listed to be, removed, held back, upgraded etc and then....)

You are about to do something potentially harmful.
To continue type in the phrase 'Yes, do as I say!'
Now, I am just someone whoose painting by numbers at this point, so I not sure whether or not to go through with this. I wanna get some work done first before continuing with this.
Still getting the same results for using 'sudo do-release-upgrade' though
It's looking like I may have to pull of a fresh install, as I don't seem to have much luck with the distro upgrades.
was I suppose to remove 'odbcinst1debian2 libwmf0.2-7 odbcinst odbcinst1debian2 odbcinst:i386'
Yes, I believe the packages to remove are after "Breaks": odbcinst1debian2, libwmf0.2-7, and odbcinst.

Unless I'm missing something, I understand from your message that:
$ sudo do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new Trisquel release
Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.
says that you should install all updates for the current distribution before upgrading to the next. Maybe you can try
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
before trying to upgrade to the next distribution.
I've already tried updating and upgrading thanks, but still the same results unfortunately
When apt is not able to give you at least enough information, try using aptitude.
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
It would suggest a more detailed view of the issue.
Okay, thanks. Now I got more info to work with:

I'll try and get round to them whenever I can
You apparently have Trisquel 11's repositories already enabled. Can you show us your /etc/apt/sources.list?
Sure. This is what I have:
# deb cdrom:[Trisquel 10.0.1 _nabia_ - Release amd64 (20220525)]/ nabia main
# Trisquel repositories for supported software and updates
deb https://archive.trisquel.org/trisquel/ aramo main
deb-src https://archive.trisquel.org/trisquel/ aramo main
deb https://archive.trisquel.org/trisquel/ aramo-security main
deb-src https://archive.trisquel.org/trisquel/ aramo-security main
deb https://archive.trisquel.org/trisquel/ aramo-updates main
deb-src https://archive.trisquel.org/trisquel/ aramo-updates main
# deb https://mirror.operationtulip.com/trisquel/packages nabia-backports main
# deb-src https://mirror.operationtulip.com/trisquel/packages nabia-backports m>
# This system was installed using small removable media
# (e.g. netinst, live or single CD). The matching "deb cdrom"
# entries were disabled at the end of the installation process.
# For information about how to configure apt package sources,
# see the sources.list(5) manual.
The uncommented lines are for Trisquel 11's repositories. It looks like you launched the upgrade to Trisquel 11 and stopped it before completion. When you can afford to possibly end up with an unusable system (requiring a fresh installation), you can try:
$ sudo apt full-upgrade
I wish I could, now the system can't even boot up the log in screen; it's just a black screen with a movable cursor.
It's true I stopped it mid way through the GUI update software, but it ended up freezing.
So unless I can SSH my way back in, I'm gonna have to depend on the fresh installs
