I have tried many different solutions found around this and other websites, such as
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
I tried also
aptitude update
checked the log and no information about the package is displayed.
Any ideas?
I have linux mint with the latest distribution Ulyana / Focal.

@user3140225 Can we install a package from 18.04 (which is available in Ubuntu's 18.04 repository, but the exact version isn't available in 20.04 repository) in 20.04?
Following example illustrates how to install a package not available in a particular version of Ubuntu but available in an older Ubuntu:
If you want to install openjfx8 in 19.04 which is available in 18.04 at https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/arm64/openjfx/download.

@technastic_tc It could be possible to do that, granted that the dependencies for the package haven't changed. But there is a high chance of breaking the system by mixing stuff from different versions. So I wouldn't advise anyone to do that.
@technastic_tc I'm not sure if compiling from source can also be applied, since that would require older libraries that may conflict with the current ones. I'm not 100% certain about that though. Someone more knowledgeable could shed more light.
Any one knows where I can enlarge scrollbars in qt programs in a config? Like I made it for gtk3? askubuntu.com/questions/1282181/… I search for hours.
It shows a difficult procedure, which in theory could be modified to work with more recent versions. This needs testing though, which I cannot do right now due to lack of spare time.
@technastic_tc Installing an older version is acceptable until it breaks any existing package. You may need to "dry-run" before commiting changes. Compiling from source is hectic and may not work as expected.
@technastic_tc Yes. But snaps are heavy and I generally avoid them. The first I do on new installation is sudo apt purge snapd. Of course using snaps are completely subjective.
If you are not using snaps, then it is safe to uninstall snapd. Several OpenVPN implementations are in the Snap Store, so do be sure you are not using one of them.
snap list // List the snaps installed on your system
sudo apt remove snapd // Uninstall snapd

Copied as-is from Ubuntu docs:
The first difference is in the CD contents. The "Server" CD avoids including what Ubuntu considers desktop packages (packages like X, Gnome or KDE), but does include server related packages (Apache2, Bind9 and so on). Using a Desktop CD with a minimal installation...
It's worth noting that other than the kernel settings, Ubuntu Desktop and Server are essentially the same distribution, just with different default package selection. They both use the same packages and respositories. If you run apt-get install ubuntu-desktop you will end up with the functional...
@technastic_tc no. Whichever version Ubuntu 18.04 used should be fine, but I don't know what was the last gedit version before the unwanted change (and even if it was actual gedit source change, and not some config made by Ubuntu).
Anyway, I've created a separate question. Looks like I'm not the only one who misses the search feature.
After upgrading from 18.04 to 20.04 I've noticed that there is no longer a handy search box when I try to open a recent file. Only a dropdown of the last 10 opened files. Is it possible to bring the old drop down (like shown on the image) back? If it is, how?
Hello :) Anyone knows how to fix the fonts in ubuntu 20.04 please :(( It's a bloody mess. 90% of the fonts render incorrent compared to windows or mac os ... the glyphs are either wrong or bolded.. my main gripe is with Arial though .. it's somewhat usable in chrome but not in firefox.
