I did see that unhelpful generic boiler plate message every time I tried to run `sudo do-release-upgrade` yes. That doesn't exactly constitute a helpful error message. It's more like saying, "There's a problem and what you tried to do failed" which I already knew by the process not succeeding.

What that process response should have said is that I needed to uninstall xserver-xorg-video-all because it was causing the upgrade to fail.

All the PPA's I have are listed in: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/320297430/VarLogDistupgradeMainlog.txt

Take a look at https://launchpadlibrarian.net/320297428/VarLogDistupgradeAptlog.txt which claims, presumably incorrectly, that tons of packages are 'Broken'.

There's also a handful other automatically attached logs/system info on this bug. To it's credit (do-release-upgrade), it did print a line with a `ubuntu-bug ...` command that automatically generated this report. That's pretty awesome.
