During the Saucy update it said that it would disable some packages, and it did.

In Software & Updates under Other Software a lot of my repositories are either "disabled on upgrade to saucy" or end in raring. IE:

Http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu
Distribution: raring
Componets: main
Comment: disabled on upgrade to saucy

Do I just change the distribution to saucy? Do I have to do that to all of them?

I believe the answer is a few commands. You do have to re-check which ones you want (probably sticking to the ones that are commented as "Disabled on upgrade to saucy.")

sudo sed -i 's/raring/saucy/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get upgrade

    That only applies to sources.list rather than all the ppas listed in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/. The correct form is sudo sed -i 's/raring/saucy/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*. However, not all PPAs are updated for saucy yet, so you may want to actually set these as raring to use them. – mmstick Oct 19 '13 at 07:21

I wrote a bash script that removes the leading hash character from all files in sources.list.d that were disabled during the upgrade. I also posted the same code in What's the best way to re-enable ppa's/repos after an upgrade?.

The following code is for upgrading raring sources to saucy.

If you want to keep the suffix # disabled on upgrade to ..., use

for f in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list; do sudo sed -i 's/raring/saucy/g' $f; sudo sed -i 's/^# \(.*disabled on upgrade to.*\)/\1/g' $f;done

if you want to delete the suffix # disabled on upgrade to ..., use

for f in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list; do sudo sed -i 's/raring/saucy/g' $f; sudo sed -i 's/^# \(.*\) # disabled on upgrade to.*/\1/g' $f;done
