Unable to Update ( Facing issue with LibC6 package) (20.10)

I'm trying to update my system to get 21.04 but I'm facing some issues when trying to update

on running sudo apt upgrade I get

Depends: libc6:i386 (>= 2.4) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

on running sudo apt --fix-broken install I get

dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.32-0ubuntu3_i386. deb (--unpack)
trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/doc/libc6/NEWS.Debian.gz', which is different from other instances of package libc6:i386
Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.32-0ubuntu3_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

on trying to install libc6 (sudo apt-get install libc6:i386)

I get

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6:i386 : Depends: libcrypt1:i386 (>= 1:4.4.10-10ubuntu4) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libnss-nis:i386 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libnss-nisplus:i386 but it is not going to be installed locales :
Depends: libc-bin (> 2.33) E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Any help will be really appreciated I'm kind of stuck here rn

You've made it difficult to read, I had a quick look at editing and adding {code} blocks, but your pastes don't have \n or line-breaks so it's won't really be any more readable. Ubuntu 20.10 is EOL (https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2021/06/18/ubuntu-20-10-groovy-gorilla-reaches-end-of-life-on-july-22-2021/) and the package tools have already dropped the capacity to look up details for *groovy* (you're too late), so the likely only on-topic response now is to *upgrade via re-install*. You haven't said if desktop/server, but it's actually easy on desktop (which I gather you're using).

Ubuntu 20.10 (along with all flavors) is *End-of-Life* and thus unsupported on this site (https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic), and many other Ubuntu sites, unless your question is specific to moving to a supported release of Ubuntu. https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2021/06/18/ubuntu-20-10-groovy-gorilla-reaches-end-of-life-on-july-22-2021/ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades *You do mention an intention of upgrading, but your question is about 20.10 and not the release-upgrade step; if you'd upgraded before EOL we could look up issues, but you're too late for the support you need*

Hey thank you for taking the time to reply; I am intending to upgrade to 21.04 (from 20.10) and am on Desktop. I will make edits with linebreaks to make things easier. As I could gather I have two options. 1) Reinstall Packages Manually? ( How do I go about doing that? I tried for libc6 as I showed above is there any other way? ) 2) Clean OS and Reinstall? Any other suggestions

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
