Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

This looks like an intermittent failure. Relevant log from DpkgTerminalLog.txt:

  ==> Installing the chromium snap
  error: cannot perform the following tasks:
  - Download snap "chromium" (1165) from channel "stable" (unexpected EOF)

Can you please try to reinstall and let us know how it goes:

    sudo apt reinstall chromium-browser
