Thanks Brian,
your suggestion actually did the trick!

The further upgrade was a success after that.

Title:
  ubuntu upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04 fails due to dependency collision

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When trying to upgrade to 20.04 via

  $ sudo do-release-upgrade -d'

  the process aborts while calculating dependencies. The first error I
  can spot in /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log is

  ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'Broken packages after upgrade: colord'

  but I am unsure how to dig deeper to find out what exactly is going
  wrong here. Does someone have a hint where to look next?
