Bug Description

While upgrading a fairly new system build from 13.10 to 14.04, upgrade failed with:

* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu

I am not aware of anything on this build that would meet any of these critieria (I do have KVM's running 14.04, but not the main system). Only package that I have added were a video card driver (since de-installed) and grub-customerizer).

Posted here as the failure asked that if these three things are not true, post to Launchpad

lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 13.10
Release: 13.10

I expected the upgrade to occur (as it has many times in the past) and it backed out the changes.

Reviewing the files from your upgrade attempt you seem to have enabled the xorg-edgers-ppa. 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. Thanks.
