[Bug 1069133] Re: Get upgrade error 12.04 - 12.10 "Could not determine upgrade" - xorg from ppa

>From ubuntu-meeting discussion about this bug.

08:34 < slangasek> do you recall if we had any idea at 
                   the time what to do to improve this?
08:34 < xnox> slangasek: as far as I remember the 
              solution was to either (a) ppa-purge X-swat 
              ppa before upgrading & downgrade to release 
              or (b) upgrade with X-swat ppa enabled, 
              upgraded to next one
08:35 < slangasek> right
08:35 < xnox> slangasek: at the moment, we disable ppa 
              and try upgrade.... which does not work. I 
              wonder if we can do an upgrade calculation 
              with downgrading $core packages to release 
              first.
08:36 < xnox> or at least say you have packages from 
              these PPAs installed, would you like to get 
              rid of them first, before upgrading?
