Trying to upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS apt (>= 2.1.10ubuntu0.3)

Question

When upgrading from 20.10 to 22.04.3 LTS get message: Required Depends not installed the required dependency 'apt(>=2.1.10ubuntu0.3)'is not installed

PC:~$ sudo apt install apt 2.1.10ubuntu0.3
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

E: Unable to locate package 2.1.10ubuntu0.3
E: Couldn't find any package by glob '2.1.10ubuntu0.3'

There is no supported release-upgrade path from 20.10 to 22.04, so it's unclear what you did. There used to be a path 20.10 to 21.04 to 21.10 to 22.04, but that path closed when the intermediate releases reached End Of Standard Support. Consider backing up your data and doing a fresh install of Ubuntu 22.04. It's likely to be the fastest and easiest way to get you there. — user535733, Sep 15 '23 at 19:37

Another option would be to run the 'do-release-upgrade' script a couple times (20.10 -> 21.04 -> 21.10 -> 22.04). This would be pretty time consuming, backing up and installing the latest release might be the best option.

Is there a recommended way to upgrade from 20.10 to 22.04?
