While installing python3-dev on ubuntu 18.04.4 I am facing the following issue

E: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python3.6/libpython3.6-dev_3.6.9-1~18.04ubuntu1_amd64.deb  404  Not Found [IP: 43.255.166.254 80]

From my observations the packages python3.6-dev_3.6.9-1~18.04ubuntu1_amd64.deb, libpython3.6-dev_3.6.9-1~18.04ubuntu1_amd64.deb are not available instead python3.6-dev_3.6.9-1~18.04ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb, libpython3.6-dev_3.6.9-1~18.04ubuntu1.1_amd64.debare available. (note the difference between ubuntu1 and ubuntu1.1)

I tried downloading and installing the python3.6-dev_3.6.9-1~18.04ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb, libpython3.6-dev_3.6.9-1~18.04ubuntu1.1_amd64.debpackages manually but got the following error

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libpython3.6-dev : Depends: libpython3.6-stdlib (= 3.6.9-1~18.04ubuntu1.1) but 3.6.9-1~18.04ubuntu1 is to be installed
                    Depends: libpython3.6 (= 3.6.9-1~18.04ubuntu1.1) but 3.6.9-1~18.04ubuntu1 is to be installed
 python3-dev : Depends: libpython3-dev (= 3.6.7-1~18.04) but it is not going to be installed
               Depends: python3.6-dev (>= 3.6.7-1~) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).`

Finally the issue was solved by removing the other architectures from dpkg

sudo apt-get remove --purge `dpkg --get-selections | awk '/arm64/{print $1}'`

sudo apt-get remove --purge dpkg --get-selections | awk '/armhf/{print $1}'


sudo dpkg --remove-architecture armhf


sudo dpkg --remove-architecture arm64
