[Bug 1873687] [NEW] could not calculate upgrade while upgrading to 18.04

[Andrew Wang]

Public bug reported:

While trying to upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04, I get this error message:

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.
