I am trying to reinstall the elasticsearch same version on ubuntu 20.04 but I am getting the below error again and again. I have tried almost all the solution given on google but the error was not resolved. Previously same version was running fine. Then I thought to upgrade it to 8.9 but I started getting the same error in reinstalling the elasticsearch after removing it. Error: sudo apt-get install elasticsearch Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: elasticsearch 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B/318 MB of archives. After this operation, 531 MB of additional disk space will be used. (Reading database ... 404439 files and directories currently installed.)
