    raise NoDistroTemplateException(

    See the "You must have an Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 machine with at least 2 GB of memory.". That does not list 20.10. You need the mssql installer for 20.10. packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/20.10 so change your download to download the one from the link

  • You must have an Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 that mean uninstall the current ubuntu and install the 18.04 version

The problem is that your Ubuntu.info file doesn't have a 'groovy' entry. Because of a bug in python-apt-common.

Good news. It was fixed today. Just do a

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
