[Bug 1894885] Re: error while upgrade ubuntu 18 LTS to 20 LTS: comm: /var/log/dmesg: No such file or directory

[Brian Murray]

I suspect this is because you have configured your sources.list file to
communicate via ftp.

Please switch to using http and try the upgrade again.

  Invalid package information

  After updating your package information, the essential package 
  'ubuntu-minimal' could not be located. This may be because you have 
  no official mirrors listed in your software sources, or because of 
  excessive load on the mirror you are using. See /etc/apt/sources.list 
  for the current list of configured software sources. 
  In the case of an overloaded mirror, you may want to try the upgrade 
  again later.
