And as ppa-purge tells you in the message you quoted, it needs the PPA name as an argument, albeit, I think you might not have a PPA problem

  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'.

  > sudo ppa-purge

  Warning:  Required ppa-name argument was not specified
  Usage: sudo ppa-purge [options] <ppa:ppaowner>[/ppaname]

  ppa-purge will reset all packages from a PPA to the standard
  versions released for your distribution.

  Options:
  	-p [ppaname]		PPA name to be disabled (default: ppa)
  	-o [ppaowner]		PPA owner
  	-s [host]		Repository server (default: ppa.launchpadcontent.net)
  	-d [distribution]	Override the default distribution choice.
  	-y 			Pass -y --force-yes to apt-get or -y to aptitude
  	-i			Reverse preference of apt-get upon aptitude.
  	-h			Display this help text

  Example usage commands:
  	sudo ppa-purge -o xorg-edgers
  	will remove https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa

  	sudo ppa-purge -o sarvatt -p xorg-testing
  	will remove https://launchpad.net/~sarvatt/+archive/xorg-testing

  	sudo ppa-purge [ppa:]ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
  	will remove https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates

  Notice: If ppa-purge fails for some reason and you wish to try again,
  (For example: you left synaptic open while attempting to run it) simply
  uncomment the PPA from your sources, run apt-get update and try again.
