[Bug 1769184] Re: I can't seem to upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 from 17.10. It can't calculate changes.

[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:
  I can't seem to upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 from 17.10.  It can't
  calculate changes.

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

Bug description:
  Could not calculate the upgrade

  An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.

  This can be caused by: 
  * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu 
  * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu 
  * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu 

  If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the 
  command 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal. 

  I disabled all repos except canonical.
