Attempting to install Virtualbox, unmet dependencies/broken packages

[Viksinn]

I've been trying to install Virtualbox on my system today, with very little success. I have previously managed to do this with Mint 19 but so far am running into problems with LMDE.

When attempting to install from the terminal, I receive this output.

Code: Select all

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:
 virtualbox-6.0 : Depends: libfontconfig1 (>= 2.11.94) but 2.11.0-6.7+b1 is to be installed
                  Depends: libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.13-4) but it is not installable
                  Depends: libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.1) but it is not installable
                  Depends: libvpx3 (>= 1.5.0) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to fix these dependency issues?

Thanks for reading

To see these held packages, run

Code: Select all

sudo apt-mark showhold

held packages

There are probably none of them, it's just apt not being able to resolve the dependencies and showing misleading error message...

By any chance, did you try to install the package built for Ubuntu 18.04 (instead of the one built for Debian 9 "Stretch")?
