I'm trying to install libpango1.0-dev (in order to then install librealsense2-utils). When I run apt-cache policy libpango1.0-dev, I get:
libpango1.0-dev:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1.50.6+ds-2
Version table:
1.50.6+ds-2 500
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages
Indicating that the package is available from the official Ubuntu repositories.
When I then run sudo apt install libpango1.0-dev, I get this:
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:

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
If I read this correctly, the version of libpango1.0-dev that I am trying to install depends on the "generic" versions of several libraries, but the only versions available for my system are Ubuntu-specific versions.
Am I interpreting this correctly? If so, doesn't that make this version incompatible with my system? Why would this version of libpango1.0-dev be available from the official Ubuntu repo?
A coworker of mine with the same issue decided to try to replace those 6 packages with the required versions. The result was a thoroughly broken system and a reinstall of the OS.
Details:
- OS is Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
- No packages are held
- I ran
apt updateandapt upgradebefore doing anything. Both completed without errors.
