[Bug 1078866] Re: ubuntu dist upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 error

[Brian Murray]

Reviewing the files from your upgrade attempt you seem to have enabled
the xorg-edgers-ppa.  This will prevent the upgrade as that PPA contains
different versions of packages essential to Ubuntu.  The page,
https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa, contains details on to
how to revert to the official Xorg packages.

** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

** Tags added: ppa xorg-edgers-ppa
