Package System is broken

Question

I currently have Ubuntu 19.10. I don't how my package system broke. I did not install anything new in the last week, as far as my memory goes. But suddenly an error started showing up. Now, I cannot even update my system. Please help if you can. I have tried many commands I could look up online, but none of them worked. The dpkg folder always returned an error code 1. Below are the screenshots for reference.

The package manager shows the latest version is installed but..

the terminal shows that a previous version is installed.

Please provide text, and not pictures of text. https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&searchon=names&keywords=libc6-dbg shows 2.30-0ubuntu2.1 is the latest for eoan not 2.30-0ubuntu2 so either your sources list is out of date (ie. you need to sudo apt update) OR you're using an outdated mirror or have other like issue (ie. use apt-cache policy to explore) — guiverc, Mar 06 '20 at 07:30
I ran into a similar vague issue with libc6 on two systems and I used aptitude not apt or apt-get to attempt the installation/upgrade and it resolved the issue. YMMV — Kevin Bowen, Mar 06 '20 at 07:42
Does this answer your question? "debconf: DbDriver "config": config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable" while installing packages — pLumo, Mar 06 '20 at 10:16

This is more simple one command

I just did:

sudo rm /var/cache/debconf/*.dat

After I run the sudo apt-get install and (I was installing curl ) and it worked restored the db manual pages.
