Bug Description

Performing the Distribution Upgrade (using GUI tools), after "calculating changes", the system reports error of:

Could not determine the upgrade.
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.

 This can be caused by:
 * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
 * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
 * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu

Previous upgrades (12.10 -> 13.04 -> 13.10) on the same hardware have performed well.
I'm not knowledgable enough to determine what may be the cause of the failure on this upgrade.

Only significant difference since last upgrade is that I've added the Cinnamon 2.0 desktop.
I have tried re-running the upgrade while using Unity (my thinking being in case the upgrad needed to be able to disable the Cinnamon packages), but the same error occurs under Unity.

I have submitted this as suggested by the error dialog itself, initiated from Terminal using the provided "ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core" command.

Requested additional information:
Release: 13.10
Package is the Distribution Upgrade from Saucy to Trusty
I expected the upgrade to proceed.
What happened is detailed above.
