upgrade couldn't find software that came with 14.04 so it could not upgrade them

[demusmd]

When I tried to upgrade my computer to Unbuntu 15, the upgrade program said that it couldn't upgrade because some key components of Unbuntu14.04 were missing, leaving them some things that could not be upgraded.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

This seems to be due in part to an issue with your network:

Having said that the upgrade will fail due to bug 1534374.
