Bug Description

The error tracker has a crash (https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/9b006966434c4db556a21641f728a6ef31553a9f) with the following traceback.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/do-partial-upgrade", line 105, in <module>
    controller.doPartialUpgrade()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py", line 1846, in doPartialUpgrade
    if not self.doPostUpgrade():
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py", line 1249, in doPostUpgrade
    remove_candidates = now_obsolete - self.obsolete_pkgs
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'set' and 'list'

This was introduced in r2804 by myself.
