Ubuntu 14.04 upgrade from 13.10: Using unofficial software packages not provided by ubuntu

I am having an issues upgrading to 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) from 13.10 (Saucy Salamander), where I get a message Could not calculate the upgrade, and I believe it is due to my unofficial software packages. Can someone please suggest which packages I should resolve, and how to resolve these packages? My question is similar to this one here, but I need help in implementing the solution that resolves the packages.

enter image description here

I already unchecked all packages under "other" in the Software and Updates menu while trying to upgrade through Software Updater.

Running a grep Broken /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log showed me multiple packages, but I'm not sure which ones are broken and how to resolve them before upgrading. I suspect my configuration with Bumblebee and Nvidia Optimus has added some PPA's and other non-supported software.

Here is my grep Broken /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log output:

To upgrade the core system packages to Trusty, simply run the following:

sudo sed 's/saucy/trusty/g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d /etc/apt/sources.list.d.bak
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

To upgrade your PPAs, you can either manually select the ones to enable, or do the following:

sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d.bak /etc/apt/sources.list.d
sudo sed 's/saucy/trusty/g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

I've been upgrading my machines like this for years now without any problems. Sometimes you need to run dist-upgrade a few times, or some new package may overwrite a file that APT refuses to do, so in those cases you can manually dpkg --force-overwrite those packages if you come across them.


Well, I too had a lot of broken packages. I just downloaded the 14.04 ISO and installed with the preserver data option. It preserves all your data, but it will delete all non-supported packages.

But when you reinstall them, their data is not lost.

The above applies, of course, if your /home and / are on different partitions. If they are on the same partition, you'll either want to back up /home, reinstall and restore or fix your packages.

Also try:

$ sudo apt-get install --fix-broken

That will clean up as much as it can.

Happy to help.
