[Bug 2039922] Re: Upgrade to 23.10 fails with error "An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade."

Sun Nov 12 13:32:28 UTC 2023

FWIW, I was able to perform the upgrade today. Most likely scenario is that
something changed with the release files and dependency definitions, but I
did play with the following:

1. Marked some packages "auto" with apt-mark which were logged in the
apt.log and I did not recognize or believe needed to be explicitly
installed.
2. I had a configuration to allow explicitly defined packages for
lunar-proposed take priority. I commented the contents of this file out.

I tried both of the above multiple times yesterday, but maybe one of the
changes needed a restart to take effect.

  Could not calculate 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'.
