This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 19.10.13

---------------
ubiquity (19.10.13) eoan; urgency=medium

  [ Jean-Baptiste Lallement ]
  * scripts/install.py: Replaced removed property Package.section by
    Version.section (LP: #1845593)

  [ Iain Lane ]
  * nm.py: Stop referencing udevadm by absolute path
    systemd 242-6ubuntu1 dropped a `/sbin/ubiquity` compatibility symlink
    that we were referencing by absolute path. This broke ubiquity when run
    on a system with a wireless adapter. Fix this by not referencing an
    absolute path but using normal $PATH lookup instead. (LP: #1845730)
