Answers:
It looks like you have already installed pre-requisite packages of DSpace (tomcat). As you are again trying to install additional packages, which is causing conflict with previously installed packages. Kindly uninstall previous packages and again try to install pre-requisites. It is recommended to use freshly installed Ubuntu 18.04 system.
