which looks to me like there are problems upgrading clutter, bamf and
other pacakges to the new versions

the directory "20140912-2154/" within "/var/log/dist-upgrade/" is
significant on my system as that is when i last ran the upgrade too; it
will almost certainly be a different location on other systems, as it is
date-stamped. could others who have problems try running a similar
command to see if there are other broken packages?

  Could not calculate the upgrade

  An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.

   * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
   * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
   * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu

  'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal.
