[Bug 1905213] [NEW] libomp5 got held back; `apt-get remove libomp5` allowed `sudo do-release-upgrade` to continue.

[Barton Chittenden]

Public bug reported:

when running

    sudo do-release-upgrade

I got an error message requesting that I run ppa-purge (I'm afraid that
I no longer have the exact text of the error message). There was
additional text that suggested looking at the contents of /var/log/dist-
upgrade/main.log and /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log. The latter showed
that libomp5 was held back.

I checked the dependencies for libomp5, there weren't any important
ones, so I ran

    sudo apt-get remove libomp5

I was able to run the upgrade at that point.

If I had been thinking, I would have gotten the output from

   apt-cache policy libomp5

Unfortunately, I ran apt-cache policy, apt-get remove and do-release-
upgrade in the same terminal, the upgrade overwrote my entire scroll
back buffer, so I can't tell you what version I had installed.
