Bug Description

do-release-upgrade on a 23.04 system says:

```
Calculating the changes

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'.
```

main.log has no details I can follow, but near the end says:

```
Dist-upgrade failed: 'E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.'
```

I have no held packages of my own.
There are no PPAs listed in sources.list.d
There is nothing except for lunar repositories in sources.list
There seems to be no mention of a specific package I can address.

I am stumped.
