[Bug 1793974] Re: Unable to upgrade 16.04 LTS -> 18.04 LTS: "Could not calculate the upgrade"

[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

Title:
  Unable to upgrade 16.04 LTS -> 18.04 LTS: "Could not calculate the
  upgrade"

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

Bug description:
  Upon running `sudo do-release-upgrade`, the following output was
  generated:

  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.
