This only happens because you've added 3rd party repositories instead of using what your distro provides.

share the apt policy of those two packages.

I don't see Edge browser in synaptic package manager.

I could only find this on sharing apt policies. Should I follow that?

Would I be installing dependencies one-by-one like this below?

Code:

apt install alsa-lib
apt install gtk3
apt install libcups

You can just do:

Code:

sudo apt install alsa-lib gtk3 libcups (and each item in the whole list).....

clean up the /etc/apt/sources.list

apt-get update
and install the needed soft

Maybe someone will give you ideal /etc/apt/sources.list so that it works ...
