BTW: Just one more comment on misleading language, even though (in my case)
apt-get talked about the package to be installed, that package was the one
already installed (not "to be installed").
Oh, and maybe I should say that the names of the broken packages are:
libwxgtk3.0-dev
libwxgtk-media3.0-dev
Nothing new below this line.
