release upgrade doesn't work, way to many "Broken" to make sense of

[Tom Mercelis]

I've removed all packages not originating from ubuntu.com; there were still hundreds of "Broken" packages listed. I've removed a lot of them, but there's also a bunch of "essentials" like ubuntu-desktop, gnome-shell, gnome-settings-daemon.
