[Bug 1381987] [NEW] upgrade failed

[Mike]

Public bug reported:

upgrading from 13.10 to 14.04 gets to second stage (new software channels) stops with message that error caused by pre-release versions or third-party package. Presumably it is a third-party package, but there is nothing very unusual on there that I know of. Anyway there is no way I can do anything without knowing what the offending package is, which means I must either get this fixed or move to a different OS.
I am not sure if this is a bug or I just need support, but the message said to report a bug so if it meant call support that is another reason to change operating systems.
As you may gather, as a long time user of Ubuntu and an IT professional I think this is really disgraceful.
