I am seeing much better stability of the Ubuntu distro today. I am
working with a reinstallation from a 20.04.1 image from late August; I
loaded it about a week ago hoping to recover from the 4 bugs I've been
dealing with but still had problems. Today I ran Ubuntu Update AND went
back to the open source nVidia driver (this is a T570 with both Intel
and nVidia graphics).

I urge working with nVidia: their driver update near the end of
September seemed to be the final straw in all of this, and making sure
that driver is stable seems important to ensure that the installer is
able to deliver a stable system. Otherwise these installation failures
and stability problems may continue to haunt us.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Installations that really succeeded would then fail because APT could not 
immediately configure a package. Which is a pointless way to fail at that 
point, because everything did work out anyway.

  So what we do is change that to a warning.

  [Test case]
  Not available right now. Issues can flare up and then disappear again.

  [Regression potential]
  It's imaginable that we missed something somewhere and some path that checked 
for a set error doesn't check it anymore, and we report success when we hit an 
error, but it seems unlikely.

  Behavior of --simulate changes. This used to fail before as well, and
  will now only produce a warning. We don't believe that is a reason of
  concern.

  [Groovy SRU]
  The groovy SRU is a sync of the 2.1.11 micro release from Debian unstable 
which also incorporates changes to the documentation: A typo fix, replacing 
focal with groovy in examples, and minor Dutch manual pages translation updates.

  We do not have test cases for the documentation changes, and we do not
  consider there to be a huge regression potential. As long as they
  build, they should be readable - maybe some words are wrong in the
  translation, who knows.

  [Original bug report]
  Test Case
  1. Install Ubuntu Desktop on hardware with an nVidia card and select to 
install 3rd party drivers
  2. Proceed with installation
