[Bug 1311313] [NEW] Ubuntu 13.10 unable to upgrade to ubuntu 14.04 due to being unable to calculate upgrade size

[mitzuni kare]

Public bug reported:

Attempted to upgrade to ubuntu desktop 14.04 from ubuntu 13.10 several
times. Each time third party sources [ppas] were disabled and eventually
removed. first state of the system was with ubntu unity removed with
cinnamon as primary desktop environment. After 3rd try, unity was
reinstalled and system restored back to default settings. 6th try after
removing ppas still resulted in failure, same error messages. After all
attempts, the system reverted back to state before the upgrade attempt
while notification on the taskbar [sorry if that is the wrong term]
urges me to properly upgrade. System reboot or shut down removes the
notification but upgrading is still a failure. Attached to this is the
GUI error message through installing via gui software updater. Same
message appears when upgrading through terminal.
