Public bug reported: when running
sudo do-release-upgrade I got an error message requesting that I run ppa-purge (I'm afraid that I no longer have the exact text of the error message). There was additional text that suggested looking at the contents of /var/log/dist- upgrade/main.log and /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log. The latter showed that libomp5 was held back. I checked the dependencies for libomp5, there weren't any important ones, so I ran sudo apt-get remove libomp5 I was able to run the upgrade at that point. If I had been thinking, I would have gotten the output from apt-cache policy libomp5 Unfortunately, I ran apt-cache policy, apt-get remove and do-release- upgrade in the same terminal, the upgrade overwrote my entire scroll back buffer, so I can't tell you what version I had installed.
