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:
 pantheon-files : Depends: libcloudproviders0 (>= 0.3.0) but it is not going to be installed
                  Recommends: contractor but it is not going to be installed
                  Recommends: tumbler-plugins-extra but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

have try fine other way like snap or flatpak or appimage but no luck.

  • You need to contact package developers and ask them to lower the dependency version.

  • Try this approach here: askubuntu.com/questions/1138831/… Then do sudo apt-get install -f pantheon-files and should work.

At first you need to enable universe repository with

sudo add-apt-repository universe

and then you can manually download and install newer version of the library with

cd ~/Downloads
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/libc/libcloudproviders/libcloudproviders0_0.3.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./libcloudproviders0_0.3.0-1_amd64.deb

and then install pantheon-files with

sudo apt-get install pantheon-files
