Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
So I tried to fix the issue by running:
sudo apt --fix-broken install
But the same error happened.
I upgraded my Ubuntu from 19.10 to 20.04. And Suddenly Ubuntu lost the database of apt packages and didn't recognize the packages that are already installed.
Does anyone face the same issue and have a solution to this?
Many thanks!
