I found a solution that worked for me: somewhere in the update-process the file /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua changed and at the end of the file the line Include "conf.d/*.cfg.lua"was missing. Once I re-added this line the upgrade finished.

I run into this issue upgrading my jitsy server from bionic to focal.

We can’t really automate that because we no longer support such old Ubuntu versions. See the supported Debian / Ubuntu versions here: https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/devops-guide/devops-guide-quickstart

Same on fresh install on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS:

modulemanager       error       Unable to load module 'roster_command': /usr/lib/prosody/modules/mod_roster_command.lua: No such file or directory                                                                                            
Failed to load module 'roster_command': /usr/lib/prosody/modules/mod_roster_command.lua: No such file or directory

# cat /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua | grep plugin
plugin_paths = { "/usr/local/lib/prosody/modules" }
-- It looks for mod_modulename.lua in the plugins folder, so make sure that exists too.

however:
