Bug Description
Multiple attempts to upgrade to xenial on my laptop. I have a few 3rd party software but it's supposed to disable those. Each time the same error occurs.
lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
Release: 14.04
Running from the gui prompt and update-manager -d
Error:
Could not calculate the upgrade
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.
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 using the command 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-
This happens at in the Distribution Upgrade program, second step of "setting new software channels", during the "calculating the changes" stage.

You seem to have two desktop metapackages installed which creates a difficult situation for the release upgrader.
