Upgrade Testing - "could not install upgrades"

[Richard Elkins]

Alejandro,

How did you upgrade: `update-manager -d` or booting an ISO image and
select the upgrade option?  Please specify which method.
What hardware are you using?
Were you testing against actual hardware or in a virtual box?

Outline for upgrade using update-manager against 13.10:
1 - Do a ground-up install of 13.10 from CD or thumb-drive to the
HDD/SSD or use a virtual box item (less disruptive).
2 - Bring 13.10 installation up-to-date.
3 - In a terminal window, start `update-manager -d`.
4 - After a long update-manager run, did it work or did you see
failure?  If failure, report it against update-manager.

Outline for upgrade using 14.04 ISO image against 13.10:
1 - Do a ground-up install of 13.10 from CD or thumb-drive to the
HDD/SSD or use a virtual box item (less disruptive).
2 - Bring 13.10 installation up-to-date.
3 - Boot the 14.04 ISO image and perform an upgrade of the existing
13.10 installation.
4 - When complete, did it work or did you see failure?  If failure,
report it against ubiquity.

The 2 outlines for upgrading 12.04.xx are essentially the same.

I did both methods (update-manager and ubiquity/ISO) and had no issues
with starting with 12.04.xx or 13.10.
