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:
 prometheus-bird-exporter : Depends: bird but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

# dpkg -l | grep bird
ii bird2 2.0.7-2 amd64 Internet Routing Daemon

bird2 conflicts with bird so only one can be installed. Both work fine with prometheus-bird-exporter if you can get it installed.
