Bug Description

While attempting to upgrade (with the GUI) I get this error message:

"
Could not calculate the upgrade

An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.

 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'.
"

It doesn't actually tell me what the problem is.

My /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log ends:

2021-02-06 22:02:23,299 WARNING Can't mark 'ubuntu-desktop' for upgrade (E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.)

Am I supposed to somehow remove/disable ubuntu-desktop before I can upgrade?

Reviewing the files from your upgrade attempt you seem to have enabled a PPA that provides Xorg packages. This will prevent the upgrade as that PPA contains package version numbers greater than the release to which you are upgrading. You can revert the PPA by installing the ppa-purge package from the official Ubuntu archive and then running 'sudo ppa-purge ppa:kisak/kisak-mesa'. After that you can try upgrading again and if it still fails open a new bug report. Thanks and good luck!

Changed in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu):
status: New → Invalid
tags: added: ppa xorg-kisak-ppa
