IIRC, the following packages are sufficient to build Squid on relatively
modern AWS servers, but I am not sure whether they match Ubuntu server
18.20 needs specifically:

I suggest that you fix basic build errors before trying to add more
dependencies for interception. I do not know exactly what libraries you
need for interception support on Ubuntu, and the answer may depend on
what kind of interception you want to use. Others on this mailing list
may help with that.
