Title:
  Release Upgrader unable to determine upgrade

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

Bug description:
  I previously submitted https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
  /ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1782849 and was advised by
  https://launchpad.net/~brian-murray that bug was a duplicate of
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069133 and that the reason I was
  experiencing the issue was because I was using the oibaf PPA that
  includes drivers that have higher version numbers than those provided
  by the upgrade.

  I purged the oibaf PPA from my system and downgraded drivers, however
  I'm still experiencing the same problem. The upgrade won't work
  because it's unable to determine the upgrade. Can someone please let
  me know exactly which repos I need to re-enable and purge so I can get
  this update sorted. Thanks in advance.
