I ran

grep Broken /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log

Here is what I got

Broken libpam-systemd:i386 Conflicts on libpam-xdg-support [ i386 ] < 0.2-0ubuntu2 > ( universe/admin )

Broken iputils-ping:i386 Depends on libgnutls-openssl27 [ i386 ] < none -> 2.12.23-1ubuntu1 > ( libs )

Broken ubuntu-standard:i386 Depends on dnsutils [ i386 ] < none -> 1:9.9.2.dfsg.P1-2ubuntu2 > ( net )`

I would appreciate your help in resolving this error. Thanks :)

This worked for me

sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers

It's a common issue I've seen and have experienced myself. Here is your solution:

sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ /etc/apt/sources.list.d.bak; sudo sed -i 's/raring/saucy/g' /etc/apt/sources.list; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade -y; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y; sudo apt-get install -f; sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d.bak /etc/apt/sources.list.d; sudo sed -i 's/raring/saucy/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade -y; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop -y

This will backup your PPAs by moving them so they don't interfere with the upgrade, upgrade from Ubuntu 13.04 to Ubuntu 13.10, then put your PPAs back and update them to Saucy, and finally attempt to install PPA packages for Saucy. Some of your PPAs may not support Saucy yet, however.

Be sure to carefully watch the output for any issues.

    That will kill the installation. Murphy says that is most likely that you will mess up your installation (mimicking Debian upgrade method) that you successfully upgrade. – Braiam Oct 28 '13 at 10:11

    Braiam, you clearly don't know what you are talking about. it will not 'kill the installation'. To make such statements is a clear indicator that you know absolutely nothing about this subject. I advise you to look into the documentation of how 'do-release-upgrade' works. – mmstick Oct 28 '13 at 12:51
