Bug Description

Could not calculate 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-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'.

Added main.log and apt.log. Didn't see anything in these log files causing upgrade to fail.

Reviewing the files from your upgrade attempt, you have installed nodejs from the nodesource PPA. This version of nodejs is greater than the one in the official archive and is keeping some 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!
