Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Bug reporting is mostly about finding & fixing problems thus preventing future users from hitting the same bug. I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709 I've marked this as incomplete, as it looks like you need support (no indication that you've update your software lists since installation was provided, held-broken packages that requires fixing), etc. If you believe I'm in error, please leave a comment as to why, and change the status back to "New". The package will need correction, then you'll be requested to run `apport-collect` ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1920753 Title: Cannot install build-essential on fresh Ubuntu 20.04.2 installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1920753/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
