reqpkgs: packages needed: 41
WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.
Error: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Error: The following information from --solver 3.0 may provide additional context:
Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting decisions:
1. libtinfo6:amd64=6.4-4 is not selected for install
2. libtinfo6:amd64=6.4-4 is selected as a downgrade because:
1. libncursesw5-dev:amd64=6.4-4 is selected for install
2. libncursesw5-dev:amd64 Depends libtinfo6 (= 6.4-4)
