Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have<br/>
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable<br/>
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created<br/>
or been moved out of Incoming.<br/>
The following information may help to resolve the situation:</div>
<div>The following packages have unmet dependencies:<br/>
dconf-gsettings-backend : Depends: dconf-service (>= 0.36.0-1)<br/>
Depends: dconf-service (< 0.36.0-1.1~)<br/>
dictionaries-common : Depends: libtext-iconv-perl but it is not going to be installed<br/>
libsane : Depends: libsane1 (>= 1.0.31+git20201220-focal0)<br/>
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would very very much appreciate your advice on this issue. Once again I would like to offer my sincerest apologies and wish you the best for the season.</div>
