I have just now re-installed the system while unticking the option
"Download upgrades while installing" during the installation. And then
proceeded to do "sudo apt install build-essential gcc g++" and it worked
just fine. Then I did "sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade" and
everything is working
ok, that doesn't show anything that would explain the incompatibility.
How about apt policy g++-9?

Ok, here is all the information you requested:
$ dpkg -l gcc

You showed the output of 'gcc --version' which is but what I'm asking
for, I'm asking for the version down in 'dpkg -l gcc' which is
different.

The version of gcc has been indicated in the initial bug report, please read it.
The output of 'apt policy g++' will be produced when I boot into that
installation.

When this problem is reproduced, what version of gcc is installed and
what does 'apt policy g++' show?

Oh, I have some good news. I just couldn't believe that Ubuntu 20 is so
badly broken that it is impossible to compile anything (surely, it would
be noticed by someone!) so I installed it in a VM inside the VirtualBox
and "build-essential" was installable without any problems (and gcc
compiles
Just wanted to add that it is not just build-essential, but lots of
other packages required for development that cannot be installed, e.g.
this:
sudo apt-get install libwxbase3.0-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages
Also, I confirm that there are no held packages, i.e. dpkg --get-
selections | grep hold shows nothing.

I have indicated in the bug report that I have done "sudo apt update ;
sudo apt upgrade", so, yes the package lists have been updated, of
course.
