  3 - What I expect to happen

  I expected I could install Clementine since it seems to be valid
  software to install when I see it in Ubuntu Software.

  I hope this could be fixed since I looked for a solution on internet
  forums but found none.

  4 - What happened instead

  Could not install Clementine. Error message appears every time I run
  Ubuntu. Tried to fix it using some advice from Ubuntu forums.

  5 - Further information

  Newly installed ubuntu 18. 
  First time received this message when tried to install Clementine (internet radio) from Ubuntu Software 3.28.1
  From then on, I am receiving this message during Ubuntu satrtup
  Tried to install libnss using apt get install, but it is not recognized by the command as a valid installable piece of software
