    Thos suggests that your package management is broken. This needs to be sorted out before you can add new software. Can you edit your question with the output of both sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade? – Nmath May 24 '22 at 03:13

  • You have both impish and focal repos on your system, this is a guaranteed way to break the package system. Whichever version your system is supposed to be (you don't say), get rid of the other repos and all software installed from them. – Organic Marble May 24 '22 at 16:03
  • There are multiple problems with packages. Never try to add new software if these commands don't come back clean- it makes things worse. If you're on focal, you need to delete all of the impish sources. Never add sources from another release. Once this is done, you need to run the apt update/upgrade commands again. If you still have held/broken packages, you need to fix those. See the comment from @ArturMeinild. Remember that you always need to run sudo apt update before doing anything else in apt and you should always sudo apt upgrade before installing anything new. – Nmath May 24 '22 at 19:09
