Comment 5 for bug 1725605

Thank you. I eventually got 17.10 installed but with other, python-related, problems (BleachBit and some aspect of updating both failed). I bailed and re-installed 16.04. I'll keep your notes for the future.

Subject: [Bug 1725605] Re: upgrade to 17.10 uncalculable without universe

One way to workaround this would be to remove unity before performing the distribution upgrade. Another would be to switch to temporary directory created by the release upgrader in /tmp/ and edit the file removal_blacklist.cfg so that unity is no longer listed and then manually run the release upgrader e.g. "sudo ./artful".
