Bug Description

When trying to upgrade from version 18.04 to 20.04 i do get an error message which says

"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'."

The log files didnt tell me anything i can use atleast, so i have no idea where to go further to resolve the problem. Tried to restart the computer after deactivating some pdds from nodejs and google without anything being resolved.

Reviewing the files from your upgrade attempt you have installed nodejs from a location other than the offical Ubuntu archive. This version of nodejs is greater than the one in the official archive and is keeping some python packages installed which then prevents the upgrade from being calculated. Please remove nodejs along with any other packages from that archive and disable the archive. After that you can try upgrading again and if it still fails open a new bug report. Thanks and good luck!
