Have a feeling this will crop up a lot. I too am in NZ and was doing a routine apt upgrade of chromium-browser on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

First time, it decided to install the chromium snap and appeared stuck at 14%. (There was a bug, reporting identical symptoms, back in May. It's been expired because it's more than 60 days old but I'd bet that people will still be having the same problem.)

Next attempt - after much fixing-up having bombed out of what appeared to be a hung install - is showing exactly what the OP here describes: it's chosen first to install the chromium snap, with the progress bar appearing stuck at 20% for ages.

I'm prepared to wait ... and wait, as it appears from comments above that eventually this will complete and normal apt upgrades will be restored. Doesn't change my opinion: regardless of whether this works in the end, it's badly broken.
