Public bug reported:

Upgrader fails every time I try to upgrade from 16.04.6 LTS to 18.04,
specifically at 'Setting new software channels'


1) $ lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
Release:        16.04

2) -

3) I expected the upgrade to continue normally.

4) It returned a window saying:
'Could not calculate the upgrade
An unresolvable problem occured 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.....'

I dont know if its relevant but here is my /etc/apt/sources.list:
cinelerra-ppa-ubuntu-ppa-xenial.list
