[Solved] Can’t install GnuCash in Antix 21

[Member rek769]

I’ve recently gotten a new machine and have successfully installed Antix21 on it. I had been running Antix 21 earlier on my old machine and was able to install GnuCash without issue.
Now, here is what happens when I try:

—————-
apt install gnucash
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree… Done

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:
libgstreamer-gl1.0-0 : Depends: libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.67.3) but 2.66.8-1 is to be installed
Depends: libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 (>= 1.20.1) but 1.18.4-2 is to be installed
Depends: libgstreamer1.0-0 (>= 1.20.0~) but 1.18.4-2.1 is to be installed
Depends: libwayland-client0 (>= 1.20.0) but 1.18.0-2~exp1.1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

—————

apt update results in being told that I have 17 packages that can be upgraded.
apt upgrade results in being told that the following packages have been kept back (although I have not manually kept anything back):
The following packages have been kept back:
ffmpeg libavdevice58 libpostproc55

I should note that booting with the default “modern kernel” causes this machine to lockup within a minute or two after login. So, I am using the older, 4.9.0-2 kernel (this issue is also present on my wife’s older Toshiba).

I’ve attached my system info as a text file.

Any ideas on how to get Gnucash installed would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

You must have enable the debian multimedia repos.
Disable it.

deb http: //www.deb-multimedia.org testing main non-free

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

Partly off-topic- I have not been as active on the forum as I recently been, but is it me or it becoming a thing, having users complain that they can’t install packages because they messed with the default repos? Are (new) users risking enabling/adding Repos they shouldn’t or is there a package that is somehow enabling debian multimedia repos???

Yes, that fixed the problem. Although, I NEVER mess with the repos and do not remember doing so in this case. Nonetheless, it was enabled. Alzheimer’s?

Thanks much

Yes, the problem with deb.multimedia appears strikingly often.The only package I know of that adds and removes this source are the non-free video codecs for DVDs from package installer.
This automatic add and remove works absolutely fine here.
Might the OP could tell us which version and where he downloaded it.
