I'm trying to install firedrake on Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS the command
python3 firedrake-install
.It checks for presence of several packages, proceeds to install them, reads the trees of dependencies, reads "state information" and tell me that some packages couldn't be installed.
Trying to solve this by following what I found on the web, I tried lots of things: Installing build-essential, but it depended on libc6-dev. Tried to install libc6-dev, but it depended on libc6. Tried to install libc6, but it's already installed, in an older version. I don't know how to downgrade it and actually I'm worried about the consequences of such downgrade. Every trial comes with a message like "impossible to solve problems, you held broken packages" (translating from Portuguese).
I am really clueless about it. I'm installing it in my workstation only a couple weeks after I installed in my personal notebook successfully, and I really don't know why is that.
I also tried to use aptitude, but was careful to still not downgrade anything. I don't know what to do about petsc. In Firedrake download tutorial, it says that one thing you might try to do is to install manually the dependencies before trying to install firedrake. But I couldn't figure out how to install each of those, for example a Fortran compiler, since the system already has one.
Also, here's the log:
firedrake-install.log
