I can see there are 64 package upgrades available but I cannot install them for some reason. I'm new to using linux. What should I do?

You seem to have repositories for three versions of Ubuntu in your sources list: 16.04 (Bionic), 21.04 (Hirsute), and 21.10 (Impish). Have you needed to install specific versions of libraries to install certain software?

@matigo - I started out with installing 20.04 but was facing some issues as it was a clean install on new SSD. So I installed 18.04, upgraded to 20.04. To try to learn about the new features (forgive me if this was stupid to do) I then upgraded to 21.10 yesterday. As of now many of the programs I installed while using 20.04 aren't running (like stremio) so I am considering going back to it, but I'd like it if I didn't have to.

How did you go from 20.04 to 21.10? There is no direct upgrade path ...

@matigo - sorry about that. 20.04 to 21.04 to 21.10.

That is still not something one can do in a weekend. One cannot go from 20.04 to 21.04 without "skipping steps", which would result in various complications. Given that you've said that you're still learning, perhaps a fresh install of 21.10 would be the fastest way to resolve your issue.

@matigo - I had been using 20.04 for about a month before deciding to go for non-LTS version. I went to - "software & updates > updates" - subscribed to "all updates" - "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version" to "For any new version". I received pop-up after a while mentioning 21.04 being available and post upgrading to that I got another for 21.10. I will still try to look for more possible solutions but if none work then I'll do a clean install of 21.10. Thanks :)

The release-upgrader, if it runs without error, cleans up old apt sources automatically. Your apt sources, however, are a bit of a mess...which suggests that there were errors you missed or ignored. Those unseen errors would explain why your release-upgrade to 21.10 seems incomplete. @matigo is right; a clean install is the safest and easiest way to remove whatever unknown problem is preventing completion of the release-upgrade.

Alternately, to find out the actual undisclosed problem so you can fix it, simply review your logs: /var/log/apt/term.log.

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.
