Dear leonhartyao,

did you already try to install libx11-xcb-dev manually? Which Error Code is shown there? Also does it help to do sudo apt update and try to install again?

Dear Kevin,

Thanks for your quick reply. I have updated the cache but sudo apt install libx11-xcb-dev gives following error:

My workaround is installing libx11-xcb-dev with sudo aptitude install libx11-xcb-dev and downgrading the version. This fixed my issue but still a temporary solution.

Hi I found the same solution at https://askubuntu.com/questions/1275725/while-installing-libx11-dev-e-unable-to-correct-problems-you-have-held-broken. It rather is an issue of Ubuntu than of tiscamera. Therefore, I close this issue. Re-open it, if you have more questions.
