Public bug reported:

The upgrade the 14.04 from 13.10 fails. I believe this is down to having
the xorg-edgers PPA installed, however when trying to purge it using
ppa-purge I get the following:

```~ ❯❯❯ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa                                                                                                           ⏎
 == Xorg packages fresh from git ==

Currently supported releases are Trusty/14.04, and Utopic/14.10

* xserver 1.16 is now in for utopic, beware that fglrx does not support
it yet!

* WARNING: Do not use this PPA with the precise X backport stacks, aka
if you fresh install of 12.04.2 or newer. You can switch back to a
compatible one by installing xserver-xorg-lts-precise instead if you do
want to use these packages but horrible things will happen if you don't.

To revert to official packages, install the ppa-purge package and run
"sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers".

== Important notice ==

This PPA is currently meant to be used as a whole. Please do _not_
individually install packages from it, add it to your sources and let
your package manager pull in every update. The packages here build
against each other and compile different features based on whats
available at build time. Do not assume that because it lets you install
a DDX with just the driver and libdrm update that it will work.  These
packages are made with scripts that use the the current packages as the
base, so some dependencies can be wrong and your package manager will
not resolve that for you.  If you want to individually install something
from here, grab the source and rebuild it in your current environment
instead.
