[Bug 1725605] Re: upgrade to 17.10 uncalculable without universe

[Brian Murray]

One way to workaround this would be to remove unity before performing
the distribution upgrade. Another would be to switch to temporary
directory created by the release upgrader in /tmp/ and edit the file
removal_blacklist.cfg so that unity is no longer listed and then
manually run the release upgrader e.g. "sudo ./artful".
