Title:
  Upgrade to U20.04 fails due to unvisible broken python packages

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  istributor ID:	Ubuntu
  Description:	Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
  Release:	18.04
  Codename:	bionic

  I need to upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS;

  After do-release-upgrade, is stopped, I get the advice to run ppa-purge, but that does not seem the problem. Checking the apt.log it appears that there are broken packages of python2, that cannot be resolved. And they also did not appear during the 'sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade' before the release update was tried. I also rebooted the server by the way.
  Hope you can help me out, because my nfs4 mounts are very unstable in U18.04, while they perform well again in U20.04.

  Thank you very much in advance.
  Jack.
