I currently have 13.10, and I get this error when trying to run do-release-update:


Calculating the changes


Could not calculate the upgrade


An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.


This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu


If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the
command 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal.

When viewing /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log, I see this error:



2014-05-07 11:56:54,263 DEBUG blacklist expr 'ubuntu-release-upgrader' matches 'ubuntu-release-upgrader-core'

I've looked for a solution to this problem, which is usually "just remove the offending package"... but I can't remove ubuntu-release-upgrader-core, because then I can't run the upgrade!

Any help will be appreciated...

Try running just update the 13.10 system first, then try the upgrade to 14.04.

Thanks for the response, but that didn't work. I've tried "sudo apt-get upgrade" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade", installed all updates, and I still get the same do-release-upgrade error.

Try sudo apt-get update
to bring the 13.10 system up to date first.
