Bug Description

Performed a do-release-upgrade which failed with the generic 'An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade'. After reviewing the apt.log file, I could only find two issues which I don't believe I caused or that I can resolve.

    libgnome-desktop-3-19:amd64 Depends on gnome-desktop3-data:amd64 < 42.5-0ubuntu1 -> 43-2 @ii umU > (< 43~) can't be satisfied! (dep)
   libgnome-desktop-4-1:amd64 Depends on gnome-desktop3-data:amd64 < 42.5-0ubuntu1 -> 43-2 @ii umU > (< 43~) can't be satisfied! (dep)

The system indicates that both of those are up to date. There doesn't appear to be a gnome-desktop-4-data, or a way to remove libgnome-desktop-3-19 as it would yank most if not all of the windowing system with it. This system has been through a number of upgrades which may be the root cause, but I don't know how to proceed further.
