Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Bug reporting is mostly about finding & fixing problems thus preventing future users from hitting the same bug.

I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709

Thanks for taking the time to report this upgrade failure. There is currently a new version of the release upgrader availalbe in -proposed which may resolve the error you've encountered. Please run the following command to test the new version of the upgrader:

  do-release-upgrade -p

Please lets us know the results in this bug report. Thanks again and good luck!

I just ran the suggested command 'do-release-upgrade -p' with no success.

This PPA seems to be causing the failure to upgrade please remove it using ppa-purge and try the upgrade again.

Dear Brian,

My pc is now running Ubunto20.4.
