    Is this Ubuntu 16.04, or a different flavor (i.e.: Kubuntu, Xubuntu). Is it an Ubuntu deriviative?

    It seems that none of the Ubuntu repositories is enabled: Main, Universe, Restricted, Multiverse.
    Please open Software & Updates to check. It's recommended to have all the above selected.

    Code:
     cd Downloads
    euclides@euclides-HP-350-G1:~/Downloads$ apt download bleachbit
    E:  Es konnte keine Quelle gefunden werden, um Version »4.2.0-0« von  »bleachbit:i386« herunterzuladen. (E: no source could be found to  download bleachbit.i386 version 4.2.0)
    I have them all

    Ubuntu 16.04

    Ubuntu 16.04

    Does it mean I have no option, but to upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04???

    I see that you have told us you have the Universe repo selected, but would you double-check to be sure that the repo is selected and have you done

    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    ?

    Re: The package must be reinstallled, no files can be found

    The issue is the version installed is too new and is not from the Ubuntu archives.
    Not sure why it's not downloading from the Ubuntu archives as the apt-cache policy output shows no other archives from which the package is from.
    For fun let's look at what the /var/lib/dpkg/status shows for it
    try
    Code:
    egrep "Package: bleachbit" /var/lib/dpkg/status -A15

    It was included in the repos for 16.04: https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/bleachbit

    However, while on that point: 16.04 reaches End of Life (EOL) in April, 2021. I'm not sure how much effort this is worth since you will need to upgrade in less than two months in any case.
