Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 php7.0-gd : Depends: libgd3 (>= 2.1.1) but it is not going to be installed
             Depends: libxpm4 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Sury PPA + Ubuntu20.04 here. Those packages are fine and installable, but the problem in your case should be fixed by

apt install -f libgd3 libxpm4

To figure out what are your options for the package, you can use

apt-cache policy libxpm4

Which should give you something like

libxpm4:
  Installed: 1:3.5.12-1
  Candidate: 1:3.5.12-1
  Version table:
 *** 1:3.5.12-1 500

Package libxpm4 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'libxpm4' has no installation candidate

@HamadAl-Shabrawi please check the apt-cache I have listed above. – Jan Myszkier Mar 10 '22 at 12:59
