A while ago I messed up my computer trying to fix something else (it's already figured out) and deleted some core files, which makes my computer unable to update and install via apt-get. I know that I was making an ignorant mistake with that action, I do not need reminding.
When I try to update here is the result:
pluto@pluto-Ubunu-Mate:~$ sudo apt-get update

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ubuntu-release-upgrader-core : Depends: python3-distupgrade (= 1:20.04.31) but 1:20.04.30 is installed
ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk : Depends: python3-distupgrade (= 1:20.04.31) but 1:20.04.30 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
The above was to show the damage to my system (I intend to fix it better at a later date). Now for the real issue, chrome. I got a message from chrome saying it needing to be updated, but because of my computer's issues, google said I needed to reinstall chrome. The only file that google chrome provides is a Debian file, which I cannot currently install due to my computer's issues.
When I try to install the deb chrome file:
pluto@pluto-Ubunu-Mate:~/Desktop$ sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
[sudo] password for pluto:

I am not an expert on the different ways to download, install, upgrade/update my computer, I am only aware of the basics. I am aware of my mistake of messing with my computer using poor practices, that is why I am asking. Please be more understanding. I would like to be able to reinstall chrome so that I can use it before I am able to properly reinstall.
