Impossibile calcolare l'avanzamento

Si è verificato un problema irrisolvibile durante il calcolo
dell'avanzamento.

I motivi possono essere:
* L'avanzamento a una versione di pre-rilascio di Ubuntu
* L'esecuzione dell'attuale versione di pre-rilascio di Ubuntu
* Pacchetti software non ufficiali non forniti da Ubuntu

Se non vengono installati, segnalare il problema usando il comando

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 package version numbers greater than the release to which you are upgrading. You can revert the PPA by installing the ppa-purge package from the official Ubuntu archive and then running 'sudo ppa-purge oibaf'. After that you try upgrading and again and if it still fails open a new bug report. Thanks and good luck!
