Upgrade from ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 resulting in error

  • 772

I tried to upgrade from ubuntu 18.04 tp 20.04 using the below command sudo update-manager -d I am getting the below error

An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.

This was caused by: * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu This is most likely a transient problem, please try again later. 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'.

updates upgrade apt 18.04 20.04

  1. In some cases it might be more than one package, I followed these steps:

    1. Check on the file /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log for any broken package listed there

    2. Remove the package using apt sudo apt remove {broken package name}

    3. Run sudo apt autoremove to get ride of residual packages

    4. Run sudo do-release-upgrade again if it throws the error message below:

      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.

    Repeat step 1 to 4
