mongodb-org-tools fails to install on Ubuntu 20.04 because it depends on mongodb-database-tools which doesn’t exist:

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.4.list
deb [ arch=amd64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu focal/mongodb-org/testing multiverse

$ sudo apt install mongodb-org-tools

Ubuntu 20.04 is not a supported OS for MongoDB 4.2 or earlier (meaning any current version of MongoDB at this time).

@Stennie_X mentions in another thread that support for Ubuntu 20.04 is planned for MongoDB 4.4.

Unfortunately this means that you will have to wait until the 4.4 version of Mongo is released unfortunately. If this is a playground/test system, you might be able to pull down the zip file from the MongoDB downloads page and use it that way.

I know 4.2 does not support Ubuntu 20.04 - I am installing 4.4 rc8 which does.
It’s just the mongodb-org-tools that fails to install due to an unmet dependency. The database itself installs.
