[Bug 1581232] Re: Unable to upgrade to ubuntu 16.04

Reviewing the files from your upgrade attempt you seem to have enabled a
PPA that provides Xorg packages. This will prevent the upgrade as that
PPA contains different versions of packages essential to Ubuntu.  The
page, https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa, contains details
on to how to revert to the official Xorg packages for the xorg-edgers
PPA.  Instructions for reverting to official Xorg packages should be
similar for the PPA that you have enabled.

Title:
  Unable to upgrade to ubuntu 16.04

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  After trying to upgrade to ubuntu 16.04 (from 15.10), I got the error
  message that

  "Could not calculate the upgrade

  An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.

  This can be caused by: 
  * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu 
  * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu 
  * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu 

  If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the 
  command 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal."

  I did a sudo apt-get clean, update, dist-upgrade, etc.

  I checked the log with $ grep ERROR /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log : 
  2016-05-12 15:00:56,655 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.'

  However, $ sudo apt-get -f update does nothing to fix the problem, and
  all other methods I could think of show that I have no broken
  packages.
