Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

I see a number of 3rd party packages, esp. from
https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+ppa-packages

For best results with a release-upgrade, you should remove all 3rd party
packages (bringing your system back to a pure Ubuntu one, ie. no 3rd
party packages) then perform the upgrade. The tool ppa-purge can assist
with this.

Likely related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-
release-upgrader/+bug/1069133

(following from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-
release-upgrader/+bug/1922546/comments/2)

[The use of oibaf ppa] will prevent the upgrade as that PPA contains
package version numbers greater than the release to which you are
upgrading. You can revert the PPA by installing the ppa-purge package
from the official Ubuntu archive and then running 'sudo ppa-purge
ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers'. After that you can try upgrading again and
if it still fails open a new bug report. Thanks and good luck!

Title:
  upgrade to 20.04 from 18.04 unsuccessful

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

Bug description:
  (1)Description:	Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
  Release:	18.04

  (2)gnome:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 1:3.22+9
    Version table:
       1:3.22+9 500
          500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages

  (3) I expected the upgrade to 20.04 from 18.04 to happen without any issues.
  (4) The upgrade failed with this error message. I have also attached the contents of /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log and /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log 

  
  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'.
