Problem appears to come from automatic updater.

** Package changed: ubuntu => ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)

** Description changed:

  Release: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
  Package: Software Updater
  
  I have a "MSI MPG B550 Gaming Edge Wifi" motherboard which requires
  Realtek Driver r8125.
  
  When the weekly update runs, it automatically replaces the correct
  driver with version r8169. This causes the Ethernet connection to not
  work at all.
  
  Fix: Manually remove r8169 driver and reinstall the Realtek r8125 driver
  downloaded from Realtek website.
  
  Additionally, I have tried to blacklist the r8169 driver in
  /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf as
  
  # Blacklist bad ethernet driver
  blacklist r8169
  
  This caused the updater to remove the r8125 driver, but not replace it
  with anything (as far as I can tell).
+ 
+ There are no files under /var/log/dist-upgrade (directory is empty).
