Bug Description

I had Ubuntu 14.04 with core from 14.10. Then wanted ro upgrade to 15.04. Seems like I have to do this only by going to 14.10 version before 15.04. But after successfull upgrade to 14.10 it seems like I can't upgrade further.

Wee found the solution for my current problem is xserver-*. I think Ubuntu must advice people to analyse apt.log or even display error messages from there and say what commands may help.

For me, the solve procedure was:

1. Open latest apt.log from /var/log/dist-upgrade
2. Find lines with problems, starting with "Broken..."
3. Remove that packages using "apt-get remove <names>"
4. Finally run "do-release-upgrade"

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.
