This appears to affect the Mate flavor, but not the main Ubuntu (Gnome
flavor).  I installed a fresh VM using ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso
and do-release-upgrade worked fine.

Bug description:
  I'm just trying to upgrade from to 20.04.  It is the guest OS in
  vmware workstaion running on win7-64.  I also tried installing a FRESH
  Ubuntu Mate 18.04 as the guest in VirtualBox running on Mate 20.04 and
  the same error happened when I ran do-release-upgrade.

  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'.
