I've just encountered this issue myself, on a VM that started life as
Ubuntu 16.04, do-release-upgrade to 18.04, then to 20.04, and now it
fails to boot with a similar error:   /lib/systemd/libsystemd-
shared-245.so: undefined symbol: seccomp_api_get

The only non-Ubuntu-standard stuff on this VM is some perl modules
installed via CPAN, and none of those touch anything to do with Systemd,
so I'm not sure why this is happening.  I did see a post-install upgrade
issue with the rkhunter package failing to find /usr/bin/egrep, but I
ignored that issue and continued.

I'm going to rollback, look for the lib involved, and see if I can
remove it before retrying the do-release-upgrade -d to 20.04.
