Just tried it on Ubuntu20:

# cat /etc/lsb-release 
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=20.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=focal
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS"

Your commands returned no errors, Zabbix got installed with no problem:

# dpkg -l '*zabbix*' | grep ^ii
ii  zabbix-agent        1:5.0.41-1+focal amd64        Zabbix network monitoring solution - agent
ii  zabbix-apache-conf  1:5.0.41-1+focal all          Zabbix network monitoring solution - apache configuration for front-end
ii  zabbix-frontend-php 1:5.0.41-1+focal all          Zabbix network monitoring solution - PHP front-end
ii  zabbix-release      1:5.0-1+focal    all          Zabbix official repository configuration
ii  zabbix-server-mysql 1:5.0.41-1+focal amd64        Zabbix network monitoring solution - server (MySQL)

Please check your environment, maybe it's the firewall or something.
