[ThinLinc-technical] ThinLinc 4.12.1 Beta

[Stefan Posse]

Hi Samuel,

I ran into the following issue:

sposse at synapse2:~$ sudo apt install ubuntu-mate-core
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ubuntu-mate-core : Depends: brltty-x11 but it is not going to be installed
                    Depends: libqt5libqgtk2 but it is not going to be installed
                    Depends: mate-desktop-environment-core but it is not going to be installed
                    Depends: mate-themes but it is not going to be installed
                    Depends: smbclient but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

What would be the next step?

Thanks,

	Stefan
