Public bug reported: I was trying to upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04.1 . I installed the latest software updates as recommended. I started the upgrade process but keep getting this error
"Could not calculate the upgrade This was likely caused by: *Unoffocial software packages not provided by Ubuntu." It recommended the usage of ppa-purge. I installed that command package. Then I used the command " grep Broken /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log" to get the list of the programs that might need to get purged. But I got a list of hundreds of programs. Now I am confused about what to do. How do I find which ppa to purge or which program to remove? I just started using Ubuntu so don't know anything about how all of this works. Can you help me out? Thank you 1) Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS 2) 3) Expected an upgrade from 18.04.5 to 20.04.1 4) The upgrade did not complete due to some error.
