Hi

My Father-in-law has an acer laptop with Ubuntu 20.10 installed. They don't know what happened but when I turned the screen on the resolution was 4:3 and font very large and all network connections gone. I loaded a previous version of Ubuntu by pressing esc and retrieving the boot list. I now have a network and a readable screen. However, the system won't update. An error says:

E: The package linux-modules-extra-5.8.0-48-generic needs to be reinstalled, but an archive for it can't be found.

Any ideas please?

Assuming the networking is working it may be the 20.10 repo has expired? It was a short term version

Upgrade to 21.04 if it will let you.
