Error reads as "E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/certbot/certbot/ubuntu focal Release' does not have a Release file."

That's correct. Since the latest version of Certbot is available at Ubuntu Packages (https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/certbot), there isn't uploaded a PPA version. So, simply install certbot with sudo apt install certbot. This will change as soon as there is a new version which isn't available at Ubuntu Packages.

One option is to use snap, which seems to be the recommended way to install certbot. Could you please follow the installation procedure for Focal to see if everything installs fine? https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/ubuntufocal-nginx

Verify if PPA is available for current distribution

Added checking to verify if current distribution (release name, ex. focal) has available PPA packages. If not, packages will be installed from Ubuntu Package archive.

Solves Issue #518 and #522.

I've added a simple fix for your issue. So, remove PPA from /etc/apt/sources.list and give the latest rtinst v.1.8.12 a try as I've not tested the version yet.
