Installed: 5.7-0ubuntu1.1 is obsolete version not shipped in Focal.
Candidate: 5.10-0ubuntu1 is the version shipped in Focal, and not installed on your machine.

It appears you have not completed the upgrade to Focal. Please finish upgrading packages to focal.

It 'seems' that this happened after a system upgrade to 20.04 - that didn't completed properly?

Actually, this bug is duplicated (and already fixed in Focal):
