Hi Jonathan and Dan:

It's a snap application, which you'll see in the output of the "snap list" command if it is installed. It provides the Ubuntu Software application on 20.04 and replaces the "gnome-software" deb, cf https:/
If I understand correctly, at this point in time, your system shouldn't have the "gnome-software" deb any longer unless you've manually installed it yourself, and it should have the "snap-store" snap instead.

This is unclear to me too, but Matthias Klumpp identified the cause of this error as lying with gnome-software metadata, and he fixed it upstream in gnome-software, cf comment 3 on this bug. Perhaps apticron runs apt-get update?

I don't see it any more. The plot thickens. You may still have the "gnome-software" deb? If yes, and you don't mind migrating to the "snap-store" snap for you Ubuntu Software application, then you could run the update-manager (the graphical application), it will take care of the transition, see bug 1868409 for details.
