I get this error message when trying to install emacs.

enter image description here

I have run upgrade and update multiple times. The instructions here and here come up when searching my error, but are either irrelevant or do not work. If I try 27 or 28, the error is "unable to locate package", which is even worse.

OS: Windows 10

Ubuntu version: 20.04.1

I've tried writing just "emacs" before, but this gives me the minimalistic version of emacs:

    What leads you to believe emacs26 is the right package name? Are you following an installation guide somewhere which may be wrong or outdated? You didn't specify what release of Ubuntu you're running, but sudo apt install emacs should work. – popey Jan 27 '21 at 09:33
  • We don't know your OS & release details, but a quick rmadison emacs tells me v.26 is available for some releases, but v.27 is also for my release... https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=emacs&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all Please provide OS & release details for package queries. – guiverc Jan 27 '21 at 09:38
  • @guiverc Updated with OS and version number. If I use that command, I get the wrong version of emacs, see the new image. – Display name Jan 27 '21 at 12:53
  • @karel No, I got the message "universe distribution component is already enabled for all sources." – Display name Jan 27 '21 at 14:09
