[kwlug-disc] Upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

The servers for me will stay with 12.04.x for a while, mainly due to Drupal
and PHP versions. Ubuntu Server LTS 12.04 should be supported all the way
to April 2017.

I was trying to upgrade the laptop, for no particular reason. Desktop
should be supported until April 2015.

But when I tried, I got the following error:

Calculating the changes
Could not calculate the upgrade
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the
command 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal.
Restoring original system state
Aborting
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Building data structures... Done

I tried to submit a report as instructed above, but that fails too.
