  • can you also include apt-cache policy libpython3.6-stdlib as well, but this time don't erase the other content in your question and just add it as an additional bit of information at the bottom?

You have conflict between this two libpython3.6-stdlib versions: 3.6.6-1~18.04, 3.6.6-1+xenial1. Try to install libpython3.6-stdlib. It's possible that apt will offer you to remove this version: 3.6.6-1+xenial1
