Why can't I install rust-doc?












1















I just installed rustc successfully, and saw, apt suggested I got rust-doc also.



 $ sudo apt install rust-doc

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.
rust-doc : Depends: fonts-open-sans but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


I suppose that there could be some spurious dependency in my repository; but I'm also especially concerned by that last line:




you have held broken packages.




I'm not sure exactly what that means.



Since I believe that some of this depends on what repositories I am using, I include this information:

 $ sudo apt-get install fonts-open-sans

Package fonts-open-sans is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'fonts-open-sans' has no installation candidate
