Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The error that you are a reporting is a conflict between packages from the official Ubuntu archive and packages from a PPA. To resolve this situation please deactivate PPAs using the tool 'ppa-purge' which is provided by the ppa-purge package. Then try performing the release upgrade again. Thanks in advance!

I would think that it would be a great idea to provide for that by
automated backup of the PPA file during an upgrade and without the
conflicting PPA , this can be bashsc to ask the user to provide permitted
action with full explanation it would stop this from being an issue, this
is a bug that seems to have been ignored
