I typed "apt install mypaint" mypaint depends on mypaint-data but it's not going to be installed seen that mypaint-data was there so "apt install mypaint-data" ...installs OK "apt install mypaint" no complaints what's that all about then ?
This is normally due to Apt having multiple Debian suites to choose from (e.g. stable and unstable) but having preferences and/or "pinning" set up so that it does not want to install the dependencies of mypaint. The approach you took (manually select mypaint-data) works, and could have been done on the same command (apt install mypaint mypaint-data). If you would like to investigate further, can you share the output of "apt policy"? -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Jonathan Dowland ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://jmtd.net ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ Please do not CC me, I am subscribed to the list.
