[Bug 1787579] [NEW] Cant update Kubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 updater crashes displaying "could not calculate the update"

[Rex Manuel]

Public bug reported:

Updater crashes with screen as I reported earlier
"https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-
upgrader/+bug/1787383". Removed the kubuntu-backports PPA as recommended
by Brian, still the same problem.
