How can I fix this problem?

What OS & release are you on? You messages show lots of ESM/EOL requirements, from releases that are now off-topic here, and whilst you've told us your kernel; that's used by both an on-topic (but very soon to be off-topic release) and multiple off-topic (EOL/ESM) releases, so please clarify. — guiverc, Apr 19 '21 at 10:33

There are several problems at play:

1)

Err:4 http://dl.ajaxplorer.info/repos/apt squeeze InRelease
  The following signatures were invalid: KEYEXPIRED 1530185191

For that, see for example GPG KEYEXPIRED error in when updating repositories

If you can't get the current public key for this repository with apt-key, you need to look into where your setup expects the key to be. Using apt-key is phased out currently in favor of storing individual keys in the file system.

Look for the deb entry that corresponds to this repository somewhere in /etc/apt. If this deb entry has something like [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/<myrepository>-archive-keyring.gpg] in it, you need to refresh the file mentioned there with the current key. There's probably a note how to download the key in the repository's description.

2)

It's update, not updata ;) Also, there's no package named update (or updata), so you can't install it. This is what your system tells you in E: Unable to locate package updata. You may want to look into the systematics of apt again, so you won't go to basically nonsensical (no offense) things like sudo apt-get install updata again.

3)

You seem to have configured some repositories that offer some packages you need, but not all of them. For example, when you try to install cpp-6, it additionally needs gcc-6-base. For the version of cpp-6 you do have available, you would need gcc-6-base 6.2.0-3ubuntu11~12.04, but you've only got gcc-6-base 6.0.1-0ubuntu1.

4)

As guiverc already mentioned in his comment to your question, you seem to use at least some quite old software. As you can see, the gcc-6-base package you would like to install (if you had it) is for Ubuntu 12.04, so from 2012.

Overall, you might want to do a throrough spring cleaning of your machine. Maybe it would help to ask somebody to look at in person, perhaps from your local Linux User Group if available. Ultimately, it might even be easier to backup all data you want to keep and do fresh install. But that's not easy to decide remotely.
