Reviewing the files from your upgrade attempt you seem to have enabled a
PPA that provides Xorg packages. This will prevent the upgrade as that
PPA contains package version numbers greater than the release to which
you are upgrading. You can revert the PPA by installing the ppa-purge
package from the official Ubuntu archive and then running 'sudo ppa-
purge oibaf'.  After that you try upgrading and again and if it still
fails open a new bug report.  Thanks and good luck!

Title:
  I am using Dell laptio with preinstalled ubuntu LTS old version,
  trying to upgrade fails every time

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

Bug description:
  I bought Dell laptop (Inspiron 3567) with preinstalled ubuntu 16.04,
  did not make any changes to the system, and it fails to upgrade every
  time I try. As far as I know, I did not make any changes to the system
  other than trying to run oibaf drivers for GPU, but this repo is
  disabled and not in use.
