Cannot calculate deps when upgrading from 22.04 to 22.10

[fdimeglio]

I am on a 2010 MacPro. I tried to update from 22.04.1 to 22.10 and I got the following thru command line and also similar error with the Software Updater app:

Could not calculate the upgrade

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'.

As a matter of fact, all the other machines (I have many) where I did the same upgrade did work nicely.
