Bug Description

gcc-avr packages for artful and bionic includes the files /usr/lib/libcc1.* which probably isn't correct (I suspect they should be in the target specific path, if anywhere) and may conflict with other gcc packages. It specifically conflicts with the "GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain" PPA package, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/+bug/1745143 .

Packages for <= zesty do not include these files at all.

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 arduino-core : Depends: gcc-avr (>= 4.7.0) but it is not going to be installed
 avr-libc : Depends: gcc-avr (>= 5.4.0+Atmel3.6.0-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I am not very good in managing packages so this might not be related but I thought I would post it here in case it is related.
