Hi,
About a year ago I decided to swith over completely to Linux (unfortunately I still need windows for a couple of apps) and the experience has been pretty awesome.
To the problem... I'm trying to install wireshark on my Pop!_OS. The problem I have is very similar to
this one but not the same. After countless hours of searching on the web this post is my last resort and hope to learn more about Linux.
When I hit
Code:
sudo apt-get install wireshark
I get
Code:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
wireshark : Depends: wireshark-qt (= 3.2.2-1~ubuntu19.10.0+wiresharkdevstable1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
When i run
I get
Code:
System: Host: t530-pop-os Kernel: 5.4.0-7626-generic x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: Gnome 3.36.1 Distro: Pop!_OS 19.10

and lastly
Code:
sudo apt-get install qtbase-abi-5-12-4
results in
Code:

Package qtbase-abi-5-12-4 is a virtual package provided by:

E: Package 'qtbase-abi-5-12-4' has no installation candidate
Do I need to install qt somehow? How do I do that? how do I remove the broken packages? Any help will be appreciated!
