It looks like you need to upgrade the libpango version and that repo is giving an error.

That makes perfect sense since Ubuntu 18.10 (cosmic cuttlefish) is no longer supported. It was released in October 2018 with 9 months of support. So therefore no further updates are possible for 18.10. You can either go slightly backwards to 18.04 which is an LTS release, or go to 19.10. However, 19.10 goes out of support at the end of July 2020; it too having 9 months of support as a non-LTS.

If you go with 18.04 LTS, at the end of April you can then go to 20.04 which is also an LTS. If you are using Anydesk as a business tool, you should probably stick with the LTS releases - just my opinion.
