Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Title:
  An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.   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'.

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

Bug description:
  I think we need more information about what to look for and how to
  solve issues in /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log and /var/log/dist-
  upgrade/apt.log. Simple asking that we look there is not enough
  information to help resolve the issue - some specifics or examples
  would be helpful - you could for instance generate an additional log
  file or ReadMe for how to debug or correct typical issues that arise
  with upgrade failure that require examining the main.log or apt.log to
  resolve - with short faqs or examples of what to look for in general
  and how to go about it.

  I get the following when I try to upgrade from Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy
  Jellyfish to 23.10 Mantic Minotaur

  ~$ sudo do-release-upgrade
