I typed

seen that mypaint-data was there so

"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"?
would the brave-apt stretch line cause problems with software other than
brave browser which I don't really use ?
:~$ apt policy
