[Bug 1772246] Re: Lubuntu upgrade to 18.04 fails from 16.04 & 17.10

[Nils Fenner]

Ok, got the upgrade running (same machine as i am writing this message
on now). Apparently some "unity" packages sneaked into the system. As I
don't need those, I removed them and everything seems to be fine now.
However I still don't know what packages exactly are causing this
problem. This would be very helpful for users to know. Isn't there a
better way to show what actually is causing the problem?

Title:
  Lubuntu upgrade to 18.04 fails from 16.04 & 17.10

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

Bug description:
  Originally I was upgrading from 16.04 and switched to 17.10 as an
  "interediate step". Both presumingly fail for the same reason. However
  I only have the log from 17.10 available and post this here.
