Hi. Thanks for reporting this issue. However, I think this is not a
software malfunction, and you're rather looking for support:

For free community support, scroll to the very bottom. Personally, I
would recommend real-time IRC support:

  Trying to upgrade ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04. 
  Received a message saying to purge unofficial software packages from lauchpad using ppa-purge package. But i do not know which package to delete. What should i do? (i'm a beginner to ubuntu)

  The message also gave option for me to manually investigate in the
  location: /var/log/dist-upgrade. Speciafically to look at main.log and
  apt.log.
