When I try

sudo apt install gcc

it gives

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libatomic1 : Depends: gcc-12-base (= 12-20220319-1ubuntu1) but 12.1.0-2ubuntu1~22.04 is to be installed
 libcc1-0 : Depends: gcc-12-base (= 12-20220319-1ubuntu1) but 12.1.0-2ubuntu1~22.04 is to be installed
 libitm1 : Depends: gcc-12-base (= 12-20220319-1ubuntu1) but 12.1.0-2ubuntu1~22.04 is to be installed

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

So, I have 12.1.0-2ubuntu1~22.04 while gcc requires 12-20220319-1ubuntu1. When I try to update gcc-12-base it says

gcc-12-base is already the newest version (12.1.0-2ubuntu1~22.04).

I have searched gcc-12-base package at packages.ubuntu.com and found this. My PC's architecture is AMD64 and the version which gcc package requires is not for AMD64. What should I do?

I tried sudo aptitude why-not gcc which outputs

i   libdpkg-perl Suggests   gcc | c-compiler

How is it that your system only has one line for sources? What happened to the other sources? Did you add 32-bit architecture to your PC at some point?

The default gcc is 11, so why did the 12 get picked up? Have you enabled the Developer Options for Jammy Proposed?

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.
