This package was removed from the repositories a few weeks ago. You can resolve the issue by doing this:

  1. Open Terminal (if it's not already open)

  2. Run this command:

    sudo apt remove linux-modules-5.4.0-56-generic

From here you can clean apt a little bit with:

$ sudo apt autoremove && sudo apt clean
$ sudo apt update

This should resolve the problem

    then try to remove it with dpkg. `sudo dpkg -P linux-modules-5.4.0-56-generic` – nobody Feb 02 '21 at 08:57
  • If that doesn't work, [this is an excellent walk-through of how to remove packages when things go sour](https://askubuntu.com/a/968759/1091774). Scroll down to the "How to manage broken packages" section and start from the first step. Hopefully you don't need to get all the way through to number five. –  Feb 02 '21 at 09:01
