Kubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver reaches end of Kubuntu support

[Bob]

I upgraded to 20.04LTS about a week ago and have had a number of problems 
with some programs.  most notably "Alpine" and "Vuescan"(Not Kubuntu 
supported)  I figured waiting a year would allow all the bugs to get 
worked out but??
and yes I am currently dual booting into my old 18.04 and getting update 
notices,  but they won't load due to a "dpk"error ??? otherwise it runs 
normally.

these guys work dern hard to get this working but always seems to be 
issues.  I am not knocking all the hard work for us users.

thanks
Bob
