The issue looks like the one which was fixed in
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptdaemon/1.1.1+bzr982-0ubuntu20

The reports have python 3.7 on bionic, which is not the version provided by Ubuntu

The problem occured when i have a python 3.8.2 installed at Ubuntu 20.04 again, since async is a keyword now. To fix it, just change the async variable name to something like async_ in the whole function or in the "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptdaemon/client.py" file.
