Any idea how to solve this? Thanks.

Did you run `sudo apt update`? Any errors there?

@nobody yes, I ran it. Updated in the description. No errors

Start by upgrading your 136 un-upgraded packages: `sudo apt full-upgrade`. Then try again. I simulated installing `libc6-dev`, and on my fully upgraded system, there were no issues.

@ArturMeinild I managed to install by adding more repository in /etc/apt/sources.list. I added my solution in the description.

@BằngRikimaru Good to hear you got it resolve, but please don't add solutions in the *question* - That's what answers are for. However, once a question has been identified as a duplicate, additional answers aren't allowed, since they should be posted on the *original* question. In this case, it looks to me like your answer is the same as one that's already present on, ["How do I restore the default repositories?"](https://askubuntu.com/questions/124017/how-do-i-restore-the-default-repositories), so there's no reason to post again.

If you disagree with the closure, and you feel your question isn't a duplicate, you can ask for second opinions on [meta.askubuntu.com](https://meta.askubuntu.com). Or if you feel you have a unique solution to one of the existing questions, you can also post it there. Thanks!

@NotTheDr01ds Your link to https://askubuntu.com/questions/124017/how-do-i-restore-the-default-repositories is ambiguous to my problem and the marked answer is outdated to Ubuntu 12.04, and my problem happened in Ubuntu 22.04 and for this library particularly. So I disagree with you.

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.
