Difficulty upgrading 10.0.1 to 11

Please help.

I am trying to upgrade my PC from Triskel 10.0.1 to Triskel 11, from within the OS, by running: "sudo do-release-upgrade", but I keep getting errors.
Something about a ppa, but I've had a friend look at it who can't see anything wrong in that field.

The message was not specific about any particular package being the problem, and ended in this:

If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the
command https://gitlab.trisquel.org/trisquel/package-helpers in a
browser..

and a suggestion to look in the logfiles
"/var/log/dist-upgrade"

especially "main.log" and "apt.log".

But I can't figure it out, because I don't know what to be looking for in those logs, and I am too stupid to figure out how to report a bug in the gitlab page.

Can anybody please help me figure this out? How do I get the upgrade to work?

The general recommended process is to turn off all third party repositories (aka "PPA") beforehand. Maybe even remove them. It's always possible to work on adding them back in later.

You may have installed from PPAs newer versions of some packages than those in Trisquel's repository. They can turn the upgrade impossible. The solution is ppa-purge, which is in Trisquel's repository. See the section "Purge PPA from Terminal" of https://www.tecmint.com/add-remove-purge-ppa-in-ubuntu/ for a usage example.

I don't know what to be looking for in those logs

If sudo do-release-upgrade still does not let you upgrade to Trisquel 11 after having purged every PPA (that you may re-add later, on Trisquel 11, using Ubuntu 22.04's code name, jammy), you can attach those logs to your reply to this post. In this way, we can take a look at them. In particular, we will look for errors, for instance with the command grep -i error.

I'd love for there to be a Flathub repo just with libre software. Call it like LibreHub or something. :-)

Thanks for the replies.
My tech-savvy friend tried running the PPA-Purge and I've even gone to the sources.d and the only things in there are:

element-io.list element-io.list.save signal-xenial.list.distUpgrade yarn.list
element-io.list.distUpgrade signal-xenial.list signal-xenial.list.save

Could it be an issue with one of those?

Here is the main.log - the apt.log is too big @ 2.9MB to upload, but did contain a lot of stuff liks:
Broken perl-modules-5.34:amd64 pre-dependencies on dpkg:amd64

I should note that I'm running the Plasma desktop-version of Triskel.

Can you translate the following error?
E:Fejl, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve satte stopklodser op, det kan skyldes tilbageholdte pakker.

You can compress it before attaching it. You can do that from your favorite GUI (such as Engrampa, MATE's archive manager) or executing in a terminal:
$ xz -c /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log > apt.log.xz
