Problem with Beta 5.0:

running pihole -up yesterday worked fine but today running pihole -up presents me with the following.

selecting yes results in the following error

I don't have any Ubuntu sources enabled. I use the WireGuard repo since I can't seem to get WireGuard any other way but i don't use any sources that provide default Ubuntu packages.

content of /etc/apt/sources.list

What's in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/?

That's what is triggering it. I'll see if we can ignore commented lines, but really you shouldn't have bionic repos on buster.

Can confirm removing those line fixed the issue

@bcambl Should we do bionic and focal or what ever 20.04 is named? Might as well get both in the same PR.

I think you @ the wrong handle :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
