Tired of waiting for the distro owners to fix it, I forced the overwrite, which solved the issue and made apt is usable again:
`sudo dpkg --configure --force-overwrite -a` Alternatively: `sudo apt -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" --fix-broken install` This issue seem to be related from the conflict between the OpenJDK and Oracle's own DEB distributions for Focal, especially if you've used the webupd8 PPA in the past.
