All it did was remove all pieces of Amaya. I repeated dpkg -i /home/richard/Downloads/amaya_11.4.7-1_i386.deb followed by apt-get -f install with the same result ;<
Instead of using apt, next time use aptitude -f install, reason is if aptitude can not fix the problem it will give you a clue as what you can do. Also if you apt install and run 'upgrade-system' upgrade-system will tell what to do, and clean your system too.
Also there is a GUI package that installs downloaded packages called 'gdebi', 'apt install gdebi' and right click on the package you want to install, choose other, check the box to remember so you don't have to do this again and choose '/usr/bin/gdebi-gtk' and install your package, the next time just click on the package you want to install.
There is a gdebi-kde version but never seems to work. Cheers, -- Jimmy Johnson Debian Buster - KDE Plasma 5.10.5 - AMD A8-7600 - EXT4 at sda7 Registered Linux User #380263
