This server became due for a distribution upgrade when Covid19 had already hit.
It is located in Texas and my twice per year visits there have been cancelled
since Sept 2019.
That is why it has not been upgraded to 20.04...
Hopefully I can get there and upgrade it on location come September.
I don't dare doing that remotely.
