I'm no longer on 20.04 but have moved on to 21.10.  However, the basic 
list should still be very similar.  I don't see one for 
Community-maintained even though I have that check-box clicked. This is 
my list when I run the command.

sudo apt-get update

I have attached screen-shots of the three main tabs for software 
updater.  On the first screen (ending in 23.png) I had unchecked and 
then re-checked the community-maintained checkbox.

Perhaps you have an additional entry in the 2nd tab (2nd screenshot 
ending in 52.png) that also points to community?  I have some stuff you 
won't need (like Inkscape and teejee2008).  I used to have sicklylife 
but that PPA isn't kept up-to-date as quickly as I desire.
