Right.  That was the problem with the sed command.  There's no ca.old-releases.ubuntu.com domain.  Just replace the whole thing with the three lines I gave you.

Then run: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade


Done. So, is the following good, bad, or a mix?

Okay, I think you may be able to just run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and things will work fine.  It failed to run that second part because the update failed on some custom PPA's you installed.  The dist-upgrade should then disable the PPA's and do the upgrade.
