Revisiting this as the fix I posted was inaccurate. I did manage to resolve it successfully as I will explain.
I had to manually upgrade the three packages in the dependency chain that was causing the issue like so (order is important): # keyboard-configuration console-setup-linux console-setup dpkg -i /path/to/keyboard-configuration_*.deb dpkg -i /path/to/console-setup-linux_*.deb dpkg -i /path/to/console-setup_*.deb I think I ran into other conflicts, but this was the trickiest, as apt always wanted to install them in what appears to be out of the logical dependency order, and would always result in the above error. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to console-setup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872824 Title: Can't upgrade console-setup-linux (1.194ubuntu3) over (1.108ubuntu15.5), trying to overwrite '/lib/systemd/system/console- setup.service', which is also in package keyboard-configuration 1.108ubuntu15.5 Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Upgrade path from 16.04 to 20.04 fails. console-setup-linux_1.194ubuntu3_all.deb tries to overwrite '/lib/systemd/system/console-setup.service', which is also in package keyboard-configuration 1.108ubuntu15.5.
