The package downloaded from the official repo seems to be corrupted. I tried installing it manually by dpkg -i linux-headers-4.15.0-144_4.15.0-144.148_all.deb which gave an error that the package could not be decompressed.
I changed the download source to the mirror of University of Arizona and the upgrade worked after that. Some of the other mirrors could ...

The most direct way (that I know of) to achieve the desired effect here is with the "keep-downloaded-packages" option:
Create a new apt config file, e.g.
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99custom-conf
Add the following to the file.
# Do not keep downloaded packages
Binary::apt::APT::keep-downloaded-packages "0";
Starting the file name with '99' ...

The solution is in the document /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/File, you have to look for this trigger with sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/File, then we look for /usr/lib/systemd/catalog system/noawait, then we remove it and we have already resolved the error, if an error appears like this dpkg: error: syntactic error in trigger file /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/File '....

happened to me when upgrading major mariadb versions from 10.3 to 10.4 with the mariadb.org repo itself.
It's possible I lack insight, but apt depends -r <package> didn't give me a cue, but I knew the chain to be mariadb-server -> mariadb-server-10.x -> mariadb-server-core-10.x.
After removing all mariadb packages first and providing all packages,...

Add this string:
Update-Manager::Always-Include-Phased-Updates;
APT::Get::Always-Include-Phased-Updates;
or
Update-Manager::Never-Include-Phased-Updates;
(A True/False boolean is not needed)
You should be able to add that line to any config file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/. Or create your own: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99-Phased-Updates

From @user.dz:
best is to use aptitude. which helps to track automatically top version of each package that fill the requirement. Otherwise, you have to list them one by one with apt. Similar to this case: askubuntu.com/q/900536/26246
In my case, I went with a different route (you can see the link in my post).

"[I]s there easy way to write this command so that it would run on either ubuntu version and install whichever of the two packages is available?"
You should not be explicitly installing libs anyway. You should be installing the applications, and letting apt figure out the dependencies. That's what apt is for.
NO: sudo apt install python3-gdbm ...

You see this error because some other program is trying to update Ubuntu. When a command or application is updating the system or installing a new software, it locks the dpkg file (Debian package manager).
This locking is done so that two processes don’t change the content at the same time as it may lead to unwarranted situation and a possible broken system.

I also had the dependencies and issue and I resolved differently.
So, when you install from Snap Store, you just get the error of missing dependencies but it does not mention which dependencies. Therefore, I attempted to install from terminal using sudo apt-get install ./megasync-Debian_10.0_amd64.deb(Note: Terminal was opened in the download folder and ...

Go find yourself a new mirror. They change once in a while and might be turned off.
Basically the software updater uses "apt" - all front end tools do that. The advantage of using the cli command is that you get the precise errors, which - if pasted into your question - can help anyone to help you.

Looks like there is a problem with the libreoffice. This is a bug to me. The workaround:
wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/libicu55_55.1-7_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libicu55_55.1-7_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get -f install
rm libicu55_55.1-7_amd64.deb
Then, the problem is resolved.

If a package is "kept back", that means the upgrade command will not upgrade it because doing so would require installing or removing other packages. You can override this with the install command:
sudo apt-get install fwupd-signed
It will list which packages it has to install or remove in order to upgrade that, so make sure it's not removing ...

For a little more explanation, when a package is "kept back", that means that there is a new version of it available, but installing that new version would involve removing some packages or installing other new ones, and the upgrade command won't do that automatically.
You want to instead use the install command; e. g.:
sudo apt-get install build-...

The problem was that I adding debian repositories to my ubuntu, in order to install some packages from there. Those 2 files (libfile-fcntllock-perl and python3-netifaceswere) were accidentally updated from debian repos, but adding these repositories was a bad idea, so I ended up reinstalling ubuntu.

aptitude is more aggressive than apt-get about resolving package dependencies. aptitude remembers which packages were explicitly requested and which packages were only installed due to dependencies. It will automatically uninstall packages which were not explicitly requested when they are no longer needed.

You can ask the APT to run a restoration procedure for you. Use commands below:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall $(dpkg -S /usr/share/bug | sed 's/,//g' | sed 's|: /usr/share/bug||g')
where:
dpkg -S /usr/share/bug shows the list of comma-separated packages
sed 's/,//g' - removes commas
sed 's|: /usr/share/bug||g' - removes : /usr/share/...

Some Ngnix-based virtual servers need exact IP addresses.
It's to easy check by this:
curl http://myvirtualdomain.com
<-- return 404 error
curl -vk https://myvirtualdomain.com
<-- OK
This is caused by nginx configurations.
Add your server's IP address on your virtual server block:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
root /var/www/html/test.com/...

The Ubuntu repositories for Focal offer R 3.6.3. Just because another version of a software exists, that doesn't automatically mean that somebody packaged that version for Ubuntu (or Debian, or Fedora, or...) and offers those packages in their repository ;)

Yes, you do use those services. Most folks would be quite upset if those services stopped for a few days.
Some of those services may need to be briefly stopped in order to install the packages that you want installed.
You should indeed restart all four services: Select all four, then OK.

The error message is misleading.
It says "you held packages", while oftentimes there will be no packages held by you:

Would print nothing.
What actually happens is the packages are held by apt itself while running dependency analysis. So for example you could see output like this:

This fix also works for CANView Log Viewer, used by Yacht Devices for configuring their NMEA 2000 marine devices.
