the essential package 'ubuntu-minimal' could not be located

Posted on September 18, 2022

Following https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-upgrade-to-ubuntu-22-04-jammy-jellyfish to upgrade Ubuntu but failed with the following ERROR message.

After updating your package information, the essential package 
'ubuntu-minimal' could not be located. This may be because you have 
no official mirrors listed in your software sources, or because of 
excessive load on the mirror you are using. See /etc/apt/sources.list 
for the current list of configured software sources. 
In the case of an overloaded mirror, you may want to try the upgrade 
again later. 

So, how should I modify /etc/apt/sources.list in order to install jammy from focal?
