I was having an issue in installing package on Release:20.04, running server version, codename: focal, I tried with sudo apt-get update but still, it was not working and I then read on StackOverflow and tried the following

Step-1:Remove the file sources.list

sudo rm -fr /etc/apt/sources.list

Step-2:Run the update process. It will create the file again

sudo apt-get update

Now /etc/apt/sources.list file is deleted and I am unable to install any package.

Thanks

copy a new file from /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list:

sudo cp /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list
