The upgrader does not support unknow version from third party (ppa packages are logged as broken).

Use 'ppa-purge' for each ppa, to downgrade to genuine ubuntu version, then check none of these ppas are active.
Next step is to clean the system via 'gtkorphan' & 'bleachbit' (as root, carefully select options)

After rebooting the dist-upgrade script should be happier.

Reviewing the files from your upgrade attempt you seem to have enabled a PPA that provides Xorg packages. This will prevent the upgrade as that PPA contains different versions of packages essential to Ubuntu. The page, https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa, contains details on to how to revert to the official Xorg packages for the xorg-edgers PPA. Instructions for reverting to official Xorg packages should be similar for the PPA that you have enabled.
