Title:
  Ubuntu upgrade halted due to unofficial software packages

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

Bug description:
  I run KDE neon User Edition 5.19 18.04 and have a few PPA's active
  (OBS, Chrome, VirtualBox, etc...).

  When I try to upgrade to KDE neon 20.04 I am met by the error "Could
  not calculate the upgrade" ant the text "An unresolvable problem
  occurred while calculating the upgrade. This was likely caused by: *
  Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu Please use the
  tool 'ppa-purge' from the ppa-purge package to remove software from a
  Launchpad PPA and try the upgrade again. If none of this applies, then
  please report this bug ..."

  As far as I know I do not have any Launchpad PPA's, but I might be
  unaware. And ppa-purge did not tell me anything about what package
  might be the problem. Neither did the logs in /var/log/dist-upgrade.

  I am by far no power user, and this is as long as I can go on my own.
  I will probably just reinstall from scratch, but since the error
  message asked me to report it, I did. Hope it might help in any way.
