I performed update-manager on 2013-July-06 .
The update-manager said "Software Updater
Not all updates can be installed

Run a partial upgrade, to install as many updates as possible.

This can be cased by:
* A previous upgrade which didn't complete
* Problems with some of the installed software
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
* Normal changes of a pre-releaes version of Ubuntu"

So I selected "Partial Upgrade" .

Then update-manager said "
Could not calculate the upgrade

An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
The package 'ubuntu-desktop' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.

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

This is most likely a transient problem, please try again later ."

Then I selected "Close" .
Then do-release-upgrade crashed and https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1194870 opened but I coulud not see this report .
Then searched launchpad with "saucy do-release-upgrade update-manager" .
And I found this report .

I also ran into it.

As the backtrace suggests, this comes from the package manager finding third party sources in sources.list:

This line fails:
  logging.debug("entry '%s' was disabled (unknown mirror)" % get_string_with_no_auth_from_source_entry(entry))

So a work around that fixed it for me is to manually comment out all my sources not directly from ubuntu in the file /etc/apt/sources.list , that is putting a comment caracter (#) in front of each line starting with deb http:// and not pointing to an official ubuntu repository.

I imagine you could achieve the same effect by unselecting those third party repository in the package manager configuration window.
