Public bug reported: I am unaware of any unsupported packages installed that would prevent the upgrade from working. I removed as many ppa's as possible, removed any unsupported programs which might be a problem, and fixed the parsing error 'Metadata files have errors: /var/cache/app-info/xmls/fwupd.xml'. I'm at a loss at this point.
