You cannot install rosbash for ROS Foxy.

rosbash is a ROS 1 package, it's not available for ROS 2.

The cause for your error however is likely the fact that rosbash is the UpstreamPackages version of python-$ROS_DISTRO-rosbash, which would be the correct package name.

You cannot mix the two streams of packages (well, it can be done, but I would not attempt that if you're just starting out).
