You have held broken packages error!

[NotionL]

Hello so I recently installed peppermint and I tried installing virtualbox-qt. But ever since I'm trying i am getting this error

eading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... 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:
 virtualbox-qt : Depends: virtualbox (= 6.1.34-dfsg-2) but it is not going to be installed
                 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.33) but 2.31-13+deb11u3 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I've tried auto clean auto remove etc. Same output

I've also tried dpkg --get-selections | grep hold
Any help?

NotionL, virtualbox-qt is in Synaptic Package Manager, you can install it there.

Also, this is a Software problem, not an installation problem. Installation refers to installing the operating system into your computer.

The package you are trying to install has unmet dependencies because it is available from within the Debian unstable repository and stretch-backports.
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=virtualbox-qt

To install this from the unstable (sid) repo AND to get the dependencies,
You need to use a few extra flags
sudo apt install --yes virtualbox-qt -t unstable

You will eventually have this displayed in the terminal window

Be sure it is set to Yes so these services can be restarted. And press the Enter or Return key.
It will continue unpacking and configuring the new package and the dependencies for it.
