Bug Description
I am happily running Bionic 18.04 Kubuntu (all previous bugs resolved). I decided to upgrade to Focal 20.04 and got a failure for an unsolvable conflict. I discovered a ppa for xenial was the cause. I removed that and then retried. (All my ppa were now for Bionic so it seemed safe)

Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.
On "sudo apt update" I discovered that numerous pulseaudio applications and dependencies were a problem:"The following packages have been kept back:"

As is visible, I am not able to upgrade to Focal elements because I am running Bionic and I cannot upgrade Focal elements because the current upgrade tree uses Bionic ppa. If I were to put Focal ppa in my /etc/apt/
pulseaudio currently does not work so I am using alsa. I do not know haw many other Focal elements will emerge even if I can resolve these, Additionally, I do not know how to fix these anyhow.
