Trying to install qpdf, I get an error: qpdf : Depends: libqpdf30 (> 12.4.1~) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
Apparently my package database has become corrupted? I tried the suggestion but it's not helping.
I am a beginner with Debian systems; on openSUSE I would have some idea how to proceed, but not here.
