Bug Description

I attempted to update to 14.04 from 13.10 (both 32 bit) on a desktop that I rebuilt running only Ubuntu. Each time the installer did the same - told me that it was turning off a couple of third party sources, then when establishing new sources (stage 2 of the upgrade process, it told me that it failed).

While I am a newbie to Ubuntu (only been running it on 3 laptops for 18 months) this is a recycled PC, inherited from my father-in-law, that I totally over wrote with 13.10. This is not a dual boot machine and I cannot understand what I have done wrong.

You seem to have installed some PPA versions of some important python packages on your system.

libpython3.4 3.4.0-2ubuntu1irie1~saucy1 0
libpython3.4-minimal 3.4.0-2ubuntu1irie1~saucy1 1
libpython3.4-stdlib 3.4.0-2ubuntu1irie1~saucy1 1

You'll need to reinstall the official Ubuntu versions of those packages and try the upgrade again. Thanks and good luck!
