I'm not an advanced user of Ubuntu, and I have a really big issue. When I run:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
I get the following output:

I tried many different solutions from this site, but nothing works for me. Something went wrong when I tried to update Python from 3.6 to 3.7. I'm sorry if I am talking about a topic that already exists, but I can't find any solution that works with all these errors combined. I can add any command output you want, but, as I said, I'm not a very advanced user.
