please do let me know if any other details needed.

Looking at the command prompt, you are using Ubuntu. Puppet isn't compatible with all versions of Ubuntu. I was getting the same error messages on Ubuntu 16.06 for the same version of Puppet (3.8.7-1). I tried a million things till I realized it was OS version to Puppet version match.
https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/3.8/install_debian_ubuntu.html
If you install a version of puppet supported by the OS you are using. It should install. Without knowing what version of Ubuntu you are on, it is possible this isn't the problem, but if so, you should be in good shape. Links below if you are on 16.04:
http://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux/ubuntu-how-tos/how-to-install-puppet-on-ubuntu-16-04.html

Your mileage may vary but the only way I could get around this problem was deleting all the puppet related .list files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d.
Files were
puppetlabs.list
puppetlabs-pc1.list
puppet.list
Once that was done, I could run apt-get install puppet and the command worked just fine.

How do I install lubicu66 on Ubuntu 20.04?

I am trying to install Ezra-project on Ubuntu 20.04. When I run the install it fails and says:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ezra-project:
ezra-project depends on libicu66; however:
Package libicu66 is not installed.
I tried installing libicu66 with
sudo apt install libicu66
But it says
Package libicu66 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'libicu66' has no installation candidate
Is libicu66 available for Ubuntu 20.04? If so, please could someone direct me to where to download it from?
I faced same problem when i tried to install couchdb.
The solution i found was installing it manually.
Go to https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/focal/main/base/libicu66 and download the proper version for your CPU architecture.
It could be done with wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/libicu66_66.1-2ubuntu2_[YOUR_CPU_ARCHITECTURE].deb
Then in the same folder use sudo apt update && sudo dpkg -i libicu66_66.1-2ubuntu2_[YOUR_CPU_ARCHITECTURE].deb

How am I supposed to solved it.
I only get it to work using master branch of VLC
https://launchpad.net/~videolan/+archive/ubuntu/master-daily
first add the repository
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:videolan/master-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc
The vlc-nox package installs vlc
To remove, use:
sudo apt-get purge vlc-nox
Next, to reinstall vlc, use:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc
% sudo snap install vlc
VLC for Debian and many other Linux distributions is also packaged using snap packages. This allows us to distribute latest and greatest VLC versions directly to end users, with security and critical bug fixes, full codec and optical media support.
To install via snap:

After googling I tried

but still same issue
It would be helpful if someone suggestion me how to fix and install maven
Thanks in advance
May be too late to answer, but I had same issue on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS -- so this may be helpful
Here is a work around...
sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/libwagon2-java_2.2-3+nmu1_all.deb
The command above will install: libwagon2-java_2.2-3+nmu1_all.deb
After this you will be able to install Maven by: $ sudo apt-get install maven
Update your packages by
sudo apt-get update
then try to install.

Installing VLC on Lubuntu (Utopic Unicorn)

I am having some issues installing VLC on Lubuntu (ubuntu) 14.10:
sudo apt-get install vlc
The command returns:
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:

Recommends: vlc-plugin-samba (= 2.2.0-0ubuntu0.14.10.1) but 2.2.0+ppa3.2 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I have tried to install both the packages it recommends (they are already installed apparently).
I have also followed this guide as some was having a similar problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2250015
and installed the xorg ppa to no avail.
Can someone please shed some light on this for me?
Many thanks!
Ed
After the usual
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Do this:
sudo apt-get remove --purge vlc-nox vlc-plugin-notify vlc-plugin-samba
sudo apt-get install vlc
apt-get should install the correct dependency versions now.
Btw why not post this on https://askubuntu.com/ ?
