This should work:

$ ppa-purge ppa:deadsnakes/ppa

Then try the upgrade again.

Title:
  Could not determine the upgrade

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

Bug description:
  The upgrade failed with the following popup:

  Could not determine the upgrade

  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'.

  ---
  I don't know/understand what arguments I should give to 'sudo ppa-purge'.
  main.log has DEBUG and INFO messages, ending up with one WARNING.
  apt.log complains about multiple (158) broken packages.
  (15 unique 'Breaks on', 5 'Conflicts on', 71 'Depends on')
