Now twice after a fresh install (encrypted ZFS) in a VMware 16 virtual box I get the message in update manager after it has been updated before any other user actions:
After clicking OK and selecting local repositories I just ended up in this without any end.Please switch to another Linux Mint error. Your APT configuration is corrupt
Could not refresh the list of updates.

The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy=, RequiredBy=, Also=,
Alias= settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance= for template
units). This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
• A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
.wants/ or .requires/ directory.
• A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
a requirement dependency on it.
• A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
• In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
instance name specified.
