Title:
  Update from 17.10 to 18.04 fails

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

Bug description:
  Running the release upgrader from the tray "alert" the upgrade fails
  saying it can't complete.

  "Can't install 'kubuntu-desktop'
  It was impossible to install a required package. Please report this bug [...]"

  [That text is transcribed as the actual modal is un-copyable text for
  some bizarre reason. I guess that's a separate bug.]

  Launching from command line as `sudo do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f
  DistUpgradeViewKDE` gives:

  ~$ sudo do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE
  [sudo] password for pandfi: 
  Checking for a new Ubuntu release

  It proceeds to offer to start the upgrade, I declined.
