This can occur when you have upgraded a Debian system from one major
version to another "in place", that is, without wiping and
reinstalling.
Once you've gotten it to the point where this is the only error left,
you can fix it by using a sledgehammer:
#
dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/codeblocks-dev_20.03-3.1+b1_amd64.deb
What this does is tell the Debian package installer to do the
overwrite. When dpkg is run as an "automatic" process it won't do it
because such a conflict can cause serious problems if it occurs
within a Debian version, but not _between_ Debian versions.
Or when I was running Sid for several years.
Then run your usual package manager process again to finish anything
this error was preventing.
In my experience this kind of thing has only happened _between_ Debian
major versions, and as such forcing the overwrite has not caused any
problems that I could discern.
That it happens so rarely and only in such extreme circumstances is a
testament to the quality of the Debian package maintainers and their
attention to detail.
