Hi I tried installing gcc-8 and g++-8. It is giving below error
$ sudo apt-get install gcc-8 g++-8 -y
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:

g++-8 : Depends: gcc-8-base (= 8-20180414-1ubuntu2) but 8.4.0-1ubuntu1~18.04 is to be installed
Depends: libstdc++-8-dev (= 8-20180414-1ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed

I tried below ways but giving the same error - Install gcc on ubuntu18
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-8 g++-8
gcc-8 --version
Also tried installing build-essential But was giving same error. Any suggestion or help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
