I fixed this by running:

sudo apt purge lvm2

sudo apt install lvm2

But I wasn't using LVM and had no volumes set, so it wasn't risky for me.

By the way, you could have run:

sudo apt install virt-manager

all the other packets you have expressly typed, with the exception of bridge-utils, are dependencies or recommends, and will get installed no matter what all those YouTube tutorials say.

I have no idea why lvm2 fails to install/upgrade though...
