[Bug 1336267] Re: The do-release-upgrade can not complete upgrade to Trusty from Saucy because dpkg says "too many errors, stopping", and OS are broken in the half-finished states.

[Mitsutoshi NAKANO]

>is it clean-installed?

I installed Saucy by these 1-3 steps.

1. I installed ubuntu-ja-13.10-desktop-amd64.iso.
2. I upgraded to newest Saucy. 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

3. I installed these by apt-get for getting files from guest OS.
These are all of additional install.
3.a. I installed sshd.
And I configured sshd environment (~/.ssh/authorized_keys, /etc/ssh/sshd_config).
3.b. I installed virtualbox-guest-dkms, virtualbox-guest-x11, and virtualox-guest-utils.
3.c. I tried to install nautilus-drobbox,
but I could not install it. 
(install process could not finish.)
So I stopped install process of Dropbox.

>could you please test with downgrade to 0.9.9.1~ubuntu3.1 before
upgrade?(If you can easily do).

I have a guest OS that applied only step "1.".
(I can clone the OS).
Now, the OS is "0.9.9.1~ubuntu3".
How do I update to "0.9.9.1~ubuntu3.1"?
Please teach it, then I can test it.
I am going to test the OS installed only sshd (3.a.).


Thanks.
