[Bug 1341209] Re: Upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04 did not complete, but booted into 14.04?

[John Center]

Originally, I posted a question  (#251577), then followed up with a bug
report.  I was asked to run sudo apt-get upgrade on 7/15 & I got the
following answer:

jcenter at avanti-due:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade

Just on a chance, I ran sudo apt-get upgrade again today & now I see the following:

jcenter at avanti-due:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade

Do you want to continue? [Y/n] 

When I ran this before, everything was up to date.  Now, not only do 59
packages need to be upgraded, but I see many of the core 14.04
installation needs to be upgraded!  For example, the kernel version is
the same as what I'm running:

Linux avanti-due 3.13.0-32-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 7 11:32:12 UTC
2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Why would this happen?  Should I do the upgrade?

Thanks.

Title:
  Upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04 did not complete, but booted into 14.04?

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I upgraded from 12.10 to 13.10 w/o a problem.  I rebooted several
  times ok.  I then tried to upgrade to 14.04.  The files downloaded
  successfully & it was about half way through the install when I
  received a fatal error & was told it would have to fallback to the
  previous version.  I could not tell what the error was from.  I had
  seen 2 error messages previously, one on the libpostproc52 error & the
  other on a problem with apport-gtk - MaxReports reached.

  I let it back out.  I thought I would see messages that it had restored the old files, but instead it looked like it was partially continuing.  It definitely did not take very long before it said it was ready to restart.  I restarted the PC & eventually came up in 14.04!!:  
  jcenter at avanti-due:~$ uname -a
  Linux avanti-due 3.13.0-32-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 7 11:32:12 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  How do I determine what condition my system is in?  How do I complete
  the installation?  I'm writing this from the upgraded system!

  Thanks.
