Debian install Looking Glass dependencies' errors


I'm trying to install Looking Glass (https://looking-glass.hostfission.co...rt/linux/build), but i've some dependencies errors i'm not albe to resolv.

Code:
apt install cmake libsdl2-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev nettle-dev libspice-protocol-dev libfontconfig1-dev libx11-dev fonts-freefont-ttf libconfig-dev
Lettura elenco dei pacchetti... Fatto
Generazione albero delle dipendenze       
Lettura informazioni sullo stato... Fatto
libfontconfig1-dev is already the newest version (2.11.0-6.7+b1).
libx11-dev is already the newest version (2:1.6.4-3+deb9u1).
Alcuni pacchetti non possono essere installati. Questo puň voler dire
che č stata richiesta una situazione impossibile oppure, se si sta
usando una distribuzione in sviluppo, che alcuni pacchetti richiesti
non sono ancora stati creati o sono stati rimossi da Incoming.
Le seguenti informazioni possono aiutare a risolvere la situazione:

I seguenti pacchetti hanno dipendenze non soddisfatte:
 libsdl2-dev : Dipende: libegl1-mesa-dev ma non sta per essere installato
               Dipende: libgl1-mesa-dev ma non sta per essere installato
               Dipende: libgles2-mesa-dev ma non sta per essere installato
               Dipende: libglu1-mesa-dev ma non sta per essere installato
               Dipende: libwayland-dev ma non sta per essere installato
E: Impossibile correggere i problemi, ci sono pacchetti danneggiati bloccati.
If i try to install these libraries it continues to print other dependencies' errors.

Any way to solve this without destroy my system?

Thank you,
Loris

Some packages cannot be installed. This may mean
that an impossible situation has been requested or, if you are
using a developing distribution, which some packages required

The following information can help resolve the situation:
Being Tex/Mex. I hafta figure out what I am reading. Hope you don't mind. Just sorting things out for me.

ups sorry, didn't noticed that....anyway that's the error in english.

Code:
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:
 libsdl2-dev : Depends: libegl1-mesa-dev but it is not going to be installed
               Depends: libgl1-mesa-dev but it is not going to be installed
               Depends: libgles2-mesa-dev but it is not going to be installed
               Depends: libglu1-mesa-dev but it is not going to be installed
               Depends: libwayland-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
It was an error to install the system in my language and now i don't know how to turn it in english (but this is another problem )

Code:
uname -a

and have you tried a

Code:
 sudo apt-get -f install

Already tried, but without success.

I've debian stretch installed with nvidia-driver backports.

linux-image-4.9.0-8-amd64
nvidia-driver stretch-backports (https://webcache.googleusercontent.c...&ct=clnk&gl=sm , don't know why but at the moment there isn't any nvidia-driver package in stretch-backports ).

I've tried this apt install -t stretch-backports libsdl2-dev too, but it gives me:
Code:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 udev : Breaks: systemd (< 233-4)
        Breaks: systemd:i386 (< 233-4)
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

To figure out the dependency problem from your first post, you might try installing them from backports and see what error messages you get:

Code:
apt install -t stretch-backports libwayland-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libegl1-mesa-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libgles2-mesa-dev
I am not sure what the udev/systemd error is about in your last post, but it does not appear that libsdl2-dev is in backports. Version 2.0.5 is in stretch and version 2.0.9 is in Buster according to this: https://packages.debian.org/search?s...ds=libsdl2-dev

I was able to fix these dependencies with a downgrade of nvidia-driver from backports to stretch (410 -> 390).

It's a shame i can't have 410 driver, but i will live with it. I'm starting to think i would have to install buster instead of stretch
