I think this is expected. LTS-to-LTS upgrades are usually delayed until the
.1 release to allow the early-adopters to kick the tires before the LTS
users make the jump. Until then you must do a multiple-hop upgrade. You
should be able to upgrade to Eoan (19.10) and from there upgrade to Focal
(20.04). To do that you will need to set `Prompt=normal`, which is normally
set to `lts` when you first install an LTS release.
