so I tried to update my ubuntu(saucy) to the new LTS release, but it gave me the error that the package manager could not calculate the upgrade.

at which point I ran this in console and got this outcome:

  • yes i've seen that post, but my list of broken packages seems to be quite long and has alot of dependancies, So im not quite sure if its ok to remove ALL of them?? seems to be alot of effort. + its doesnt quite make sense to me because my system runs and updates smoothly otherwise.. – Muffin Apr 24 '14 at 16:32
  • Make sure all your PPAs are disabled by opening the Software Updater and clicking 'Settings...' in the bottom-left and finding the relevant tab. If that doesn't work, report a bug with ubuntu-bug update-manager-core and then make a new Ubuntu 14.04 boot CD/USB and select the option to upgrade 13.10 to 14.04. – Ads20000 Apr 24 '14 at 16:44
