I searched the forum for a solution, that nothing helps. Tried the following:

$ sudo apt remove initramfs-tools
$ sudo apt clean
$ sudo apt install initramfs-tools
$ sudo apt autoremove
$ sudo apt autoclean
$ sudo apt clean
$ sudo apt update 
$ sudo apt upgrade
$ sudo apt dist-upgrade
$ sudo apt -f install
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

also:

sudo chmod -x /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/fixrtc

Please help me :(
I can't update ubuntu to 20.10, neither can I update any package.

Move the file into your home and try again.

What was the exact error message of `sudo dpkg --configure -a`?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
