[Bug 1309670] Re: Error upgrading Saucy to Trusty

[Trifon Trifonov]

It seems like the samba-related packages were the culprit, after purging
them the upgrade went fine. Attaching an excerpt from
/var/log/apt/history.log, which lists the packages I had to purge in
order for the upgrade to go through.

Nevertheless, I am keeping this bug report open, as these were standard
packages and should have been handled gracefully by the updater. I would
be glad to provide more information if someone is interested.
