Using Ubuntu 18.04.4, deleted Nautilus for some reason, but now sudo apt install nautilus says I've held broken package. I followed similar posts asked here before, but it went in vain. I liked Nautilus, I find no other file manager better than this (don't recommend),

Rather nuclear solution, but it usually fixes whatever aptitude whines about: 

sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install -f nautilus

Check what output the autoremove command spouts, it might remove some packages you'd need.
