Bug Description

OS version = Ubuntu 14.10
package version = unsure, but it's the automatic Ubuntu updater in Ubuntu 14.10.
Expected = no error.
Actual = Ubuntu notified me that there's a new version available. I confirmed that I wanted to upgrade, and the window "Distribution Upgrade" started working:

quote:
Upgrading Ubuntu to version 15.04
v Preparing to upgrade
> Setting new software channels
unquote.

At this stage, an error was displayed:

quote:
Can't install 'ubuntu-desktop'

It was impossible to install a required package. Please report this as a bug using 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal.

[OK]
unquote.

After clicking "OK" the installer seems to have continued okay anyway.

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.
