The reason why your upgrade broke is because you were using the LXC PPA
on 14.04 which effectively meant you had a more recent version of LXC
than is in 16.04.
You should be able to fix things by either removing all those packages
and reinstalling them clean from the 16.04 archive, or by re-enabling
the PPA, this time for 16.04, which should also fix the issue.
In either case, upgrading systems with PPAs is effectively an unsupported use
case, and as annoying as it is in this case, APT is right to refuse this
"upgrade" as it mixes packages that were meant for 14.04 with some that were
meant for 16.04...

Title:
lxc / lxc1 uninstallable
Status in lxc package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Hi,
I just upgraded a server machine from 14.04 to 16.04.1 and lost lxc
during upgrade, because the upgrade process removed it.
Now I can't install lxc due to broken dependencies/incomplete package
upload:
lxc : Depends: lxc1 (>= 2.0.5-0ubuntu1~ubuntu16.04.2) but it is not
going to be installed
lxc1 : Depends: liblxc1 (= 2.0.5-0ubuntu1~ubuntu16.04.2) but
2.0.5-0ubuntu3~ubuntu14.04.1~ppa1 is to be installed
Depends: python3-lxc (= 2.0.5-0ubuntu1~ubuntu16.04.2) but it is not
going to be installed
Recommends: libpam-cgfs but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: lxc-templates (= 2.0.5-0ubuntu1~ubuntu16.04.2) but it is
not going to be installed
liblxc1 is already the newest version (2.0.5-0ubuntu3~ubuntu14.04.1~ppa1).
python3-lxc : Depends: liblxc1 (= 2.0.5-0ubuntu1~ubuntu16.04.2) but
2.0.5-0ubuntu3~ubuntu14.04.1~ppa1 is to be installed
Obviously someone has rendered lxc uninstallable by putting an incomplete set
of packages in the 16.04 repository.
Please fix.
