CONCLUSION: Thank you all who helped me in this problem. Now I have tried nearly all related methods but still can not figure it out.
So I plan to reinstall the whole system.
P.S. NEVER STOP a processing program, or you will have the same problem with me.
Question:
I actually tried many many methods but still not figure it out. Anyone can help me?
My system is Ubuntu 20.04, when I run the code below
sudo apt --fix-broken install
I got an error message
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Correcting dependencies... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
libopencc2 libopencc2-data
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following additional packages will be installed:
locales
The following NEW packages will be installed
locales
0 to upgrade, 1 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.
3 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0 B/6,592 kB of archives.
After this operation, 17.6 MB of additional disk space will be used.
