Trying to install g++ E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I just did a fresh install of ubuntu server 18.04. I am trying to install g++ (as well as a few other things) and keep running into this error: E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I have run the command
Code:

dpkg --get-selections | grep hold
but there is no output. I have also tried to use synaptic to fix the broken packages, but it was unable to.

Here is the content of my sources.list

Code:

# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 18.04 LTS _Bionic Beaver_ - Release amd64 (20180426)]/ bionic main restricted
