Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
When a package is blacklisted the message during a release upgrade is
"""
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
Trying to install blacklisted version 'PACKAGE NAME'
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/
"""
This confuses the user because none of the 3 reason is true.
