Software Updater performed a partial upgrade today and removed the gnome-tweak-tool and I think one of the depencies - gir1.2-handy-0.0. I've tried installing in the Terminal and with Synaptic, but I got a broken package error with both. Installed gir1.2-handy-0.0, but still get this error when installing the tweak tool:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gnome-tweak-tool : Depends: gnome-tweaks but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I also tried:

  1. Fixing the broken install

    sudo apt --fix-broken install

  2. Purging the tweak tool and reinstalling it:

    sudo apt-get purge gnome-tweak-tool
sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool
  3. Installing the package from the Focal repository gnome-tweaks (3.34.0-2ubuntu1) [universe]

Still getting the same result.

Thanks for all the help @Kulfy. I figured it out. The repositories were not able to be accessed during a software update due to E: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/binary-armhf/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.39 80] and while researching that problem, it lead me to this post: How to fix a "Failed to fetch binary-armhf/Packages" error during apt-get update?

Ran sudo dpkg --remove-architecture armhf as instructed in that thread and was able to update. One problem solved. Then figured I'd try installing Gnome Tweaks to see if there was any relation and it worked.
