Bug Description

I've got a bone stock Ubuntu install that I've converted over to a MythTV frontend running 14.04 on an Atom box. Upgrading to 16.04 seems to fail and give a could not calculate the upgrade message. Nothing is pre-release on here. It asked if nothing was pre-rel to submit a bug so I'm doing so. Hopefully it helps. Going to keep trying for a bit but if I can't get it I may just wipe and install 16.04 clean. Hope not to have to though.

It seems like un-installing ubuntu-desktop has allowed the install to begin.

Right, having multiple metapackages like ubuntu-desktop and mythbuntu-desktop can create issues for the package problem resolver.
