Bug Description

This was actually my second try after running "do-release-upgrade" failed thusly:

Could not calculate the upgrade

An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.

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'.

Your /etc/apt/sources.list file is configured for Ubuntu 20.04 (focal) but you are running Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic). Please modify your sources.list file for bionic and try the upgrade again.
