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 conflict between
packages from the official Ubuntu archive and packages from a PPA. To
resolve this situation please deactivate PPAs using the tool 'ppa-purge'
which is provided by the ppa-purge package. Then try performing the
release upgrade again. Thanks in advance!

** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Could not determine the upgrade - 16.04 > 18.04

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

Bug description:
  After making sure my system is up-to-date, I ran the upgrade tool and
  got the following when "Setting new software channels":

  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 got some details of my system in case they were useful.

  I tried running the upgrade via Terminal and got this:

  re-enable them after the upgrade with the 'software-properties' tool
