I have tried to upgrade for ubuntu 18 to 20 by this isntruction.

And done some parts of that instruction like this:

There is no development version of an LTS available.
To upgrade to the latest non-LTS develoment release 
set Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.

but when i run this command;

sudo do-release-upgrade -d

I get this error:

Calculating the changes

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'.

DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS"

The apt.log file form /var/log/dist-upgrade folder could be seen here and main.log is also here.

So what do you think about this problem?

َUpdate:

I have done this commands also based of the comment:

(base) so@so-notebook:~$ apt-mark showhold

(base) so@so-notebook:~$ 
(base) so@so-notebook:~$ dpkg -l | grep "^hi"

(base) so@so-notebook:~$

Thanks.

  • saucy? (EOL in 2014) Your sources show what to me are obvious problems & potential for security risks.. also loads of PPA (3rd party software sources) which directly result in the message you got, and suggested fix (ie. "Please use the tool 'ppa-purge' from the ppa-purge package to remove software from a Launchpad PPA and try the upgrade again." You can scan for "breaks" and find the actual packages that are blocking upgrade (manually), but removing all PPAs is usually quicker as automated. Or re-install (something else, no format) for the easily fastest upgrade (what I'd opt for).

The clue is in the error-text:

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. 

So, note which PPA:s you have installed and then, if the package ppa-purge is not installed, then install it and use ppa-purge to remove all PPA-packages. Finally, retry the upgrade.

  • Because there are too much broken PPAs, so i asked here, about auto remove PPA method. Jun 5, 2020 at 15:51

It seems that a ppa has made some conflicts with the upgrade process. It seems that you have some held packages.

Main log: 'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages

Maybe try the finding out what packages are being held from upgrading.

apt-mark showhold

Or by

dpkg -l | grep "^hi"

However, I would wait to upgrade until 20.04.1 has been released. When I upgraded from 18.04, I had too many boot errors which slowed my boot times to 3min+.

  • I tried to looking at the apt log. I can’t pin point the problem package(s). Maybe it’s one of the 62 broken packages. I think your best bet is to use ppa-purge and reinstall them after the upgrade.
