Bug Description
After making sure my system is up-to-date, I ran the upgrade tool and got the following when "Setting new software channels":
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-
I got some details of my system in case they were useful.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The error that you are a reporting is a conflict between packages from the official Ubuntu archive and packages from a PPA. To resolve this situation please deactivate PPAs using the tool 'ppa-purge' which is provided by the ppa-purge package. Then try performing the release upgrade again. Thanks in advance!
