[Bug 1816802] [NEW] Upgrade to Bionic from Xenial is not completing

[John Troll]

Public bug reported:

I am unable to update from 16.04 to 18.04, getting the "Could not
calculate the upgrade" error. and have attempted to remove all launchpad
related PPAs.  I am running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Not sure if this is related to a CUDA install I tried to do some time
ago that never really worked.

Full Error:

Could not calculate the upgrade

An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.

 This was likely caused by:
 * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
Please use the tool 'ppa-purge' from the ppa-purge 
package to remove software from a Launchpad PPA and 
try the upgrade again.

If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the command
'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal.If you want to
investigate this yourself the log files in '/var/log/dist-upgrade' will
contain details about the upgrade. Specifically, look at 'main.log' and
'apt.log'.
