I have not used Debian before and have not installed anything on Linux in a long time. I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I am trying to install Citrix client on Debian Buster and running into the below issue with dependencies.

Dual screen is possible even with the "light" client although that works so-so.

I had another guy in the office install it on Debian but he is away so I need to instlal it.
