Public bug reported: I'm on a 64-bit intel with gnome and mate desktops installed. Problem: when I run do-release-upgrade after a sudo apt update I get:
Calculating the changes Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. This can be caused by: * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the command 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal.
