The program for statistical analysis PSPP is very important for research, i concluded my post-graduation with it, using Ubuntu 19.10, but it's not present in the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS repository, so we can install it easily. Why?

The PSPP package was dropped from Debian, and thence from Ubuntu, due to a licensing problem.

See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=924937

I was able to install an earlier version, pspp-1.2.0 by compiling from source code at http://ftp.wayne.edu/gnu/pspp/. You'll probably have to install several dependencies which ./configure should tell you. Be sure to use three separate steps when compiling, e.g. sudo ./configure, sudo make, and sudo make install, to ensure files are correctly written. The latest version seems to have at least one dependency issue.

I do not know if it can help, but I solved the problem in my Ubuntu 20.04 by adding this line in my sources.list:

deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu groovy main universe

Here some other repository: https://packages.ubuntu.com/groovy/amd64/pspp/download
