Bug Description
Workaround when the 14.04 upgrade fails and you can't do more upgrades or installs anymore:
1. Launch Terminal from Dash
2. Type 'sudo apt-get install -f' and press enter. When prompted (offers updating eg libc-dev-bin, libc6-dbg, libc6-dev and udev), press enter again.
3. Launch Software Updater again from Dash and let it install the rest of the updates.
Original report:
Download and install the 14.04 image.
