Asked by José Marcelo de Castro

when I try upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 from 16.04 the upgrade software stop and show the message "There is a unsolve problem, an error occurred while calculating the update.". After three possible cause are showed:
Upgrade to a pre-release
to run from the pre-release version
Use non-official ubuntu package.

Neither above are applicable to me.

I had a very similar problem. Upon receiving feedback from someone on this forum, I removed (purged) some of my PPA's that I didn't think I needed when upgrading to 18.04LTS. Anyway, after purging the said PPA's, the upgrade went very smoothly. I can't say for certain which particular PPA was the cause for not letting the system upgrade from 16.04LTS to 18.04LTS.

Can you help with this problem?
