Why does the update command display the same ppa?

I was installing atom on Ubuntu 18.04.1 using the command:-

sudo apt-get install atom

I stopped the installation process and now whenever I run the command:-

sudo apt update

The following is the output:-

Hit:1 http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/atom/ubuntu bionic InRelease

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

All packages are up to date.

Whenever I try to install Atom again, I get the following output:-

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:

 atom : Depends: gvfs-bin but it is not installable

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Now, whenever I try to install a package from the terminal using

sudo apt-get install <package-name>

I get some output showing: This package has no installation candidate.

For example, if I install rpm, the output is:-

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

Package rpm 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 'rpm' has no installation candidate

All this has been happening since the day I terminated the atom installation.

Can anyone help me with this?
