21.04 installation process broken

[Bret Busby]

Hello.

With a three day lockdown imposed, that started on Friday, and a
notification of free data from an Internet access provider, due to
apparent previous problems, I thought it would be an opportunity to
try to do clean installs of UbuntuMATE 21.04.

The installation process had more or less, appeared to proceed okay;
then I rebooted, and the Welcome screen offered the invitation to add
more software than the default installation, so, I took up the
invitation.

gnucash would not download, chromium, which is apparently, not run by
google, so I thought I would try it, would not install, brave would
not download, and I now have an error message that states that "The
package system is broken".

Is 21.04 really ready to install?
