[Bug 1998086] Re: Could not determine the upgrade

Reviewing the files from your upgrade attempt, you have installed
packages from the deadsnakes PPA. Some of the packages installed are
newer than those in the official archive, which is keeping some python
packages installed which then prevents the upgrade from being
calculated. Please try using the ppa-purge tool to remove packages
installed from ppa:deadsnakes/ppa. After that you can try upgrading
again and if it still fails open a new bug report. Thanks and good luck!

Title:
  Could not determine the upgrade

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

Bug description:
  The upgrade failed with the following popup:

  Could not determine the upgrade

  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 using the command
  'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal. If you want
  to investigate this yourself the log files in '/var/log/dist-upgrade'
  will contain details about the upgrade. Specifically, look at
  'main.log' and 'apt.log'.

  ---
  I don't know/understand what arguments I should give to 'sudo ppa-purge'.
  main.log has DEBUG and INFO messages, ending up with one WARNING.
  apt.log complains about multiple (158) broken packages.
  (15 unique 'Breaks on', 5 'Conflicts on', 71 'Depends on')
