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) sudo do-release-upgrade 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:" dad@dad314159:~$ sudo apt list -a --upgradable Listing...

If I were to put Focal ppa in my /etc/apt/sources.list there would likely be havoc! 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.
