gcc-7 7.3.0-12 looks more like a Debian package than an Ubuntu one - have you added any non-Ubuntu repositories to your apt sources?

Run sudo apt update before install, to update the package repository.

You can get a list of actually held packages with:

dpkg --get-selections | grep hold

If there are none, or none look related, then it's probably something else. You can also try using the aptitude rather than apt-get to install your package:

sudo aptitude install <packagename>

Aptitude will try and find solutions which involve modifying other packages. It will also give you a detailed explanation of the problem and options for fixing it.

If you try Aptitude with -f, it will change its priorities and then you will obtain only those solutions which require removing/downgrading fewer packages. Here's the command:

sudo aptitude -f install <packagename>

Note: Assuming dpkg --get-selections | grep hold is empty, Aptitude is your best solution to resolve held packages.
