I have just done an install of Lubuntu 20, and was following the instructions from the launchpad PPA site:

https://launchpad.net/~hugin/+archive/ubuntu/hugin-builds

I did this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hugin/hugin-builds

but got the error/warning message:

Reading package lists... Done                             
E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/hugin/hugin-builds/ubuntu focal Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Can anyone advise how I persuade my system to use this PPA?

That is simple: your lubuntu is based on a ubuntu version the ppa contains no build for.
The error message is nearly impossible to understand right, though...

Kind regards,

Gunter.

Do Hugin packagers at https://launchpad.net/~hugin intent to follow Ubuntu releases or not? The nightly ppa is the only one which has up to 18.04 bionic. All recent releases are missing.

If packagers don't intend to follow ubuntu releases, then it would probably be nice to indicate that at https://launchpad.net/~hugin/
