Tried to install Chromium, Chrome, and Budgie themes but I get an error like “Failed installation of EvoPop theme”.

thanks for the report. Looks like focal and the python version bump has removed the “dist” method.

This will need fixing.

ok - browser installation has now been fixed.

Run in a terminal the following to refresh all snaps installed.

```
snap refresh

```

Any packages (budgie applets and themes) will not be installable on 20.04 yet. Those packages will be made available in the next few weeks.
