Public bug reported: When I try to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04, I get an error message saying that it "cannot calculate the upgrade". My situation is similar to the one reported at http://askubuntu.com/questions/804875/could-not- calculate-upgrade-14-04-16-04: inspecting the log, I find that about 800 packages are marked as "broken" on my system. Given that many of them seem to be quite fundamental, I feel uneasy about simply deleting everything and trying to reinstall it.
