[Bug 2046831] [NEW] Unable to update from 23.04 to 23.10 ("Could not calculate the upgrade")

[Davide Macario]

Public bug reported:

Full error message:

```
Could not calculate 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. 
```

The problem seems to be with PPAs, but I never added external
repositories, plus I just upgraded from 22.04 to 23.04 with no issues.
