Some additional info: The servers where I had problem were running a hyper convergent solution, with ceph installed via ceph-ansible, including at least a docker container (running node_exporter) - it is failing as well. These servers were initially installed with general kernel (5.4.0-81-generic) and a hwe kernel (5.8.0-34) was installed afterwards.
I succeeded in installing a new server with hwe kernel and updated libraries, as well as upgrade a system without ceph nor docker; at the upgrade, some errors concerned me, but didn't cause any bigger trouble: Setting up libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu (6.0.0-0ubuntu8.14) ...
