[Bug 1787713] Re: upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 fails

[Brian Murray]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The error that you are a reporting is a package conflict
between a package from the official Ubuntu archive and a package from
the ubuntu-toolchain-r test PPA. To resolve this situation please
uninstall the packages from that PPA using the tool 'ppa-purge' which is
provided by the ppa-purge package. Then try performing the distribution
upgrade operations again. Thanks in advance!

** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

** Tags added: ppa-conflict ubuntu-toolchain-r
