Could not calculate the upgrade

An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.

This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu

If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the
command 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal.

UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to zesty on 2017-10-23 (0 days ago)

[Chris Johnson (ctjctj)]

I used `apt purge gstreamer*` after which the `do-release-upgrade` seems to be working.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

I've managed to boil this down to a simple test case by installing virt-viewer and nvidia-libopencl1-304 on an Ubuntu 17.04 desktop system the upgrade will fail to be calculable.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

This is the /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log file which contains information about the failure to upgrade.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Chris Johnson (ctjctj)]

The summary to this is incorrect or incomplete.

The issue for me was that gstreamer was failing the upgrade. Once I purged
that from the system it was able to do-release-upgrade. Nvidia might have
been an issue but it was the attempt after apt purge gstreamer* that worked

[Simon Lambourn (simon-lambourn-o)]

Is there a workaround for this by uninstalling virt-viewer? Will I be able to reinstall it after the upgrade? I am not sure what the dependency issue is...
