I’m not an expert on Ubuntu and the PPA system, but what I do see at the certbot PPA page itself (https://launchpad.net/~certbot/+archive/ubuntu/certbot/+packages), there are no packages for Ubuntu 19.10 (eoan).

You are using the instructions for bionic (18.04), but everything in the log you’ve pasted tells me you’re using eoan (19.10).

You probably should use the instructions for “Ubuntu 19.10+”: https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/ubuntuother-nginx

Update: I tried again, it seems resolved. Thanks

Well, for some reason, your aptitude was trying all kinds of stuff with eoan in stead of bionic. From your first post:

eoan

That's why I thought you were running 19.10 eoan.
