You seem to have installed the cinnamon package on Ubuntu 13.10.
Unfortunately, that package is not available yet for 14.04. To upgrade
to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS you'll need to either wait for a fix for cinnamon to
be available or uninstall the package and then upgrade.

Title:
  Failing to update to newer version

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Its possible that it is a bug previously listed but I am only an
  amateur coder whereas Im sure sure most Ubuntu users are experienced
  ones.

  Basically, the issue is that my software is incredibly out of date. I
  am on Ubuntu and 13.04 want to install Ubuntu 14.04.2. A long long
  time ago the relevant update from .04 to whatever the next version of
  failed. At the time I didnt really have time to look into it because
  of work commitments. I just dealt with it. So then each subsequent
  update became impossible to download. Hasnt been much of an issue
  because it still always worked fine. However, now its starting to be
  an issue because there are all sorts of features that are not
  supported anymore or simply dont work. Its also impossible to update
  to the newest version (which I assume would fix these issues).

  Since simply updating to 14.04.2 directly wont work, my guess is I
  will have to go through and download each individual update there has
  been between my current version and the newest one. If so, could you
  please point me to a simple layout of the code to input? Or perhaps
  there is another issue at hand? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  I can answer more questions if you need and am available via email
  (dolphadomian at gmail.com). I can only imagine how difficult your job is
  going through and debugging customers' computers while they might have
  a meagre understanding of computer software. So I can not stress
  enough how thankful I am for you taking time to help. Thanks again!
