Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Bug reporting is mostly about finding & fixing problems thus preventing future users from hitting the same bug.

I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709

From DpkgTerminalLog.txt:

error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Download snap "chromium" (1523) from channel "stable" (unexpected EOF)
- Download snap "gnome-3-28-1804" (145) from channel "stable" (download too slow: 0.00 bytes/sec)

This looks like a connectivity issue, or possibly a snap store outage at the moment you attempted to install chromium.

Can you please retry by running the following command in a terminal, and sharing the full output here?

    sudo apt reinstall chromium-browser
