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:
libmagic1 : Depends: libmagic-mgc (= 1:5.45-2) but 1:5.45-3 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Please delete libmagic1 from the archive, so that libmagic1t64 1:5.45-3 can take over this role (it’s already marked Provides: libmagic1 (= 1:5.45-3)).
It seems like 1:5.45-3 was deleted instead of 1:5.45-2? That resolves the immediate issue, I guess, but it’s probably not the intended resolution.
