sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers
One of my laptops worked after this. However on another laptop this
didn't seem to fix the problem. Checking the log file /var/log/dist-
upgrade/main.log I noticed that the error hadn't changed, I was still
seeing a failure like:
2013-10-28 14:38:03,043 DEBUG Installing 'xserver-xorg-video-all' (Distro
KeepInstalledPkgs rule)
2013-10-28 14:38:03,518 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'E:Unable to correct
problems, you have held broken packages.'
So I simply uninstalled the offending package and tried the upgrade again:
sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-all
sudo do-release-upgrade
and the upgrade was able to continue successfully this time.
** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)
Status: Invalid => Fix Released
