Thanks for your report. You have package from non-official repositories installed which are blocking the upgrade.
In particular python3.6: libpython3.6 3.6.3-1+xenial2 LP-PPA-thomas-schiex-blender libpython3.6-minimal 3.6.3-1+xenial2 LP-PPA-thomas-schiex-blender libpython3.6-stdlib 3.6.3-1+xenial2 LP-PPA-thomas-schiex-blender which is not in Xenial. Please uninstall these packages before upgrading again or revert to a version from the official Ubuntu repository. I'm closing this report.
