Bug Description

Ubuntu Customization Kit has not been maintained for years.

The Launchpad project page https://launchpad.net/uck tells:
"!!!PROJECT DISCONTINUED!!!"

Using UCK on current Ubuntu releases aborts with errors, among others because
- the script tries to copy a file to itself (mtab)
- gfxboot-theme-ubuntu_* is no longer provided as tar.gz, but as tar.xz archive.

If you look at bugs and questions for the UCK project (and uck on Ubuntu), you will see dozens of failure reports.

Either repair uck on Ubuntu or remove it from Ubuntu 20.04!
