do-release-upgrade fails because dependencies cannot be satisfied

[Gavin John]

It tries to change old-releases.ubuntu.com to c..archive.ubuntu.com, which doesn't work.

That's actually not what's causing the upgrade to fail. While there is something wrong with "c..archive.ubuntu.com", the upgrader will just just "arhive.ubuntu.com instead. E.g., from VarLogDistupgradeMainlog.txt:

The real error, seen in VarLogDistupgradeAptlog.txt, is this:

Normally these sort of things with python are caused by using the python deadsnakes PPA. I am not sure about the other package at the moment, though.
