Public bug reported:
sudo do-release-upgrade
fails to upgrade 13.04 to 13.10 when update-alternatives is used to
maintain different versions of python
e.g.
sudo update-alternatives --list python
/usr/bin/python2.7
/usr/bin/python3.3
The script complains that the symlink to /usr/bin/python is broken
regardless of which version is being used to provide python
a workaround is to remove the symbolic link
`sudo rm /usr/bin/python`
and creating it manually
`sudo rm /usr/bin/python`
`sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python`
`sudo do-release-upgrade`
Apparently using version 3.3 didn't work too well either.
