[Bug 1898271] [NEW] When attempting to upgrade to 20.x, I keep getting ppa errors

[JOHANN BEUKES]

Public bug reported:

I've tried all the ways I can find to uninstall ppa:deadsnakes,
terminal, ppa-purge and even the UI and nothing will remove it
permanently. Each time I try to run the Ubuntu upgrade, the same error
appears again.

Error:
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'.
