When I run lsb_release -a I get:

rsteff at ENU-1:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:    Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
Release:    18.04
Codename:    bionic
rsteff at ENU-1:~$

I don't recall restarting, so I just did that.

Still shows Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS, which I expected.

Also running Software Updater still fails, then works.

Other projects are in front of digging deeper for now.

Thanks for your thoughts and help.
