The upgrade failed with the following popup:
Could not determine the upgrade
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.
This was likely caused by:
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
Please use the tool 'ppa-purge' from the ppa-purge
package to remove software from a Launchpad PPA and
try the upgrade again.
If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the command 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-

I don't know/understand what arguments I should give to 'sudo ppa-purge'.
main.log has DEBUG and INFO messages, ending up with one WARNING.
apt.log complains about multiple (158) broken packages.
(15 unique 'Breaks on', 5 'Conflicts on', 71 'Depends on')

Reviewing the files from your upgrade attempt, you have installed packages from the deadsnakes PPA. Some of the packages installed are newer than those in the official archive, which is keeping some python packages installed which then prevents the upgrade from being calculated. Please try using the ppa-purge tool to remove packages installed from ppa:deadsnakes/ppa. After that you can try upgrading again and if it still fails open a new bug report. Thanks and good luck!
