Upgrade 14.04 from 13.10 fails

[Thomas Winteler (Win-Soft)]

Hi all

Trying to upgrade to 14.04 from 13.10, already disabled all third party ppa's and still get this as last ERROR in main.log from dist-upgrade.

Next it was happens after run sudo do-release-upgrade:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/7484682/

Here is the entry from main.log:
more /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log | grep ERROR
2014-05-18 19:33:23,327 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'The package 'ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.'

I also found, that there are a lot of BROKEN packages:
grep Broken /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log
http://paste.ubuntu.com/7484674/

I found solutions, to remove, re-install the ERROR package listed in dist-upgrade/main.log, but doesn't work.

How can this be fixed? I never had such issue before.... and i upgraded from eg. 8 > 9 > 10.. then installed 11 upgrade to 12 > 13.. and now.. i want be able to upgrade.. instead of reinstall...

Thanks a lot

These packages at least are causing an issue:

libpython3.4 3.4.0-2ubuntu1irie1~saucy1 1
libpython3.4-minimal 3.4.0-2ubuntu1irie1~saucy1 1
libpython3.4-stdlib 3.4.0-2ubuntu1irie1~saucy1 1

The version number of those packages are greater than the ones in trusty archive so the release upgrader can not sort out the upgrade path. You'll need to revert any packages from the ppa that provides the three packages above to the official Ubuntu version. There is a tool call ppa-purge that should help. Thanks and good luck.

Hey Brian

Thanks a lot.. seams this was the trick.. The packages are coming from a Blender PPA, purged/autoremoved them and do-release-upgrade was able to give me choice to proceed the upgrade ;)

If i have any further problem, i will come back here ;)
