CyberPanel on AWS - cannot use RainLoop after snapshot restore - advice?

I found this: Unfortunately this was not a solution.

replacing
deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.3-latest/ubuntu/bionic bionic main
with
deb https://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.3-latest/ubuntu/focal focal main
since I have ubuntu 20.04.

However, during this update of dovecot it was not clear if I should keep the original config, do a 3 way merge or save the maintainer’s version. Perhaps I performed this update incorrectly. Some clearer instructions would help.
