[Yoichi Watanabe]

Public bug reported:

I wanted to upgrade my ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 but failed.
I did:

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
$ sudo apt dist-upgrade
$ sudo apt autoremove
$ sudo do-release-upgrade

and the error was
"An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade."

There was a error in /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log
