Does this error mean that this package nodejs_14.18.0-deb-1nodesource1_amd64.deb is broken
and need to be deleted ?

/var/cache/apt/archives/nodejs_14.18.0-deb-1nodesource1_amd64.deb

Normally you paste error messages into your favourite search engine and do some reading.

It would also help if you said what you were doing, ... give some context.

You're expecting someone to research the error, filter the possible places that could generate it, and get back to you. Kinda unreasonable.
