Did you try to just use the AppImage? It may run and would save you a lot of time and hassle.
Just make sure you get it from the official website and check the signature.

By using AppImage you will avoid many dependencies problems.
just download the .appimage from https://electrum.org/#download and verify signature.

Move AppImages into a standard location
From terminal, locate to that file run chmod a+x <electrum_AppImage>
Or click on  "properties" then click on "Permissions" tab then "Allow executing file as program."
