Public bug reported:
When installing a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 from an USB Stick, then in the "Software &
Updates" settings window, where there is a possibility to set up software
sources, on the "Developer Options" tab the "Pre-released updates
(focal-proposed)" checkbox is ON by default, therefore installing pre-release
packages for regular users as well.
And not just when booting from the installation media (USB stick), but after
installing the system onto the main HDD / SSD , the situation is the same.
The issue popped up when I already had gnome-shell 3.36.2 on my system
(completely killing gnome-tweaks), while the latest stable release was
just 3.36.1
Thanks to #ubuntu IRC channel and especially "ioria" user to help me
figuring out what is going on.
The installation ISO image I was used has the signature from 3rd May.
