Ubuntu 14.04 Dist-Upgrade: "TypeError"

Good time of the day! I'm trying to upgrade Ubuntu 14.04, but the following Error appears:

ub14:~$ do-release-upgrade -d
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Get:1 Upgrade tool signature [836 B]                                           
Get:2 Upgrade tool [1 265 kB]                                                  
Fetched 1 266 kB in 0s (0 B/s)

    MARKER_EXPR = originalTextFor(MARKER_EXPR())("marker")
TypeError: __call__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'name'

All the needed stuff is done:

ub14:~$ sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
ub14:~$ sudo apt-get install update-manager-core

<- it's Ok.

The most possible reason of the problem: Once I've tried to upgrade Ubuntu 14.04, but forgot to restart the system before battery have been totally discharged. Since then TypeError: __call__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'name' appears every time on trying to update. Update from GUI also is impossible - it's just close the window on pressing "Upgrade"-button, and it's all. Probably, anybody already have resolved the same issue, and this info could be usefull.

Is there any way to solve the problem without any side-effects further in the future (I know about the trick with changing MARKER_EXPR() to MARKER_EXPR(""), but there is no info about the side-effects during the upgrade-process or after it)? Thank You in advance!

I had the same problem. Doing sudo pip uninstall pyparsing and then sudo pip install pyparsing solved it for me.
