use 'ppa-purge' with each installed ppa, to get genuine package version. Then cleanup /etc/apt/sources.list to only use 'bionic' entries.

Also run 'gtkorphan' to purge old/un-needed packages; then reboot and update again.

Can you (=Ubuntu developers) repair in next update of Ubuntu all issues with updates full resales and applications? It doesn't work correct and the same issue has a lot of people.

Thanks for your report.

Disregard dino99 comment, it is incorrect and misleading.

One of the reason of the upgrade failure are invalid entries in /etc/sources.list that point to a no longer available release:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty main universe restricted multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty main universe restricted multiverse #Added by software-properties
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ zesty-security main restricted multiverse universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty-updates main restricted multiverse universe

Besides these duplicates the lines for artful and you can just remove them then attempt the upgrade again. If it fails again then don't hesitate to file another report.

Jean, thank you very much for help!
Now I have successfully installed Ubuntu 18.04!
It is perfect release: light and very quick OS.

But I see other bugs:
- in login manager, when I choose other graphical interface / environment, after login into, I see empty screen only with background picture. Developer team of Ubuntu probably never tested Ubuntu 18.04 for switch on other graphical interfaces

- Ubuntu Software is no possible for use. It work on experimental Snap packages. Installation of applications is no possible
