I am unable to install new packages or update existing packages to to Linux-image-4.15.0-32-generic, Linux-image-4.15.0-34-generic and Linux-image-4.15.0-38-generic. Error message screenshot

I have tried the solutions provided here, but it is not resolving the problem: I am having a problem with the package manager on 18.04 LTS

Is there way I can fix this problem without formatting my PC? Thanks

You might have to change the main repository server as well as performing the solution you tried above.

I see two problems on your screenshot. 1) You seem to have deleted all your sources. Your system doesn't know where to get new packages from. askubuntu.com/a/1040799/19626 will fix that. 2) You seem to have specified kernels to install. Bad idea - let apt do that for you. Those packages are not in the Ubuntu repos anymore anyway. Use apt-mark to change those kernel packages to 'remove' status, so apt won;t try to install them anymore.

Your actual problem seems to occur during the update process, but this can't be seen on your screenshot. Please run sudo apt update, highlight and copy the text, and paste the text into your question (rather than using a screen shot!)
