Hi,
maybe a force install does the trick.
apt-get -f install
I know normally this is for unresolved dependencies but its worth a try.
Also see: https://askubuntu.com/questions/140247/force-install-apt-get
Yes i would try to remove the offending package postgresql-12-postgis-3, but make shure you can restore: snapshot or verified backup.
best,
A

Ron,
Ubuntu release upgrade (do-release-upgrade) uses Ubuntu official repository, I believe.

Hello Community!
One of my Postgresql servers has been over the years through "in-place" update for last 6 years or so. Currently stands at 18.04 w/ Postgres-12-Postgis 3.1, the server went through multiple version os Ubuntu and PostgreSQL .
I am trying to upgrade Ubuntu to 20.04 first before upgrading PostgreSQL, but failed with OS upgrade. Here are the last few lines in /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log after failed upgrade:
2021-11-09 08:35:50,044 DEBUG blacklist expr '^postgresql-.*[0-9][0-9].*' matches 'postgresql-12-postgis-3'
2021-11-09 08:35:50,044 DEBUG The package 'postgresql-12-postgis-3' is marked for removal but it's in the removal blacklist
2021-11-09 08:35:50,053 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'The package 'postgresql-12-postgis-3' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.'
2021-11-09 08:35:50,055 DEBUG abort called
The offending package 'postgresql-12-postgis-3' corresponds my current Postgresql version. Should I remove the package and proceed with OS upgrade? I am at a loss...
What repository did you install it from?

I would strongly recommend to use the repository of the PostgreSQL Developer Group: https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/
This makes your OS upgrades and the PostgreSQL updates more independent of each other. Plus, you always can get the latest PostgreSQL version, while the distribution repositories only offer the current version as of its publishing. So, Ubuntu 20.04 only has the 2019 version of PostgreSQL.
