build-essential is already the newest version (12.4ubuntu1).
libx11-dev is already the newest version (2:1.6.4-3).
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

Please edit your question and add output of apt-cache policy libboost-all-dev libx11-dev libx11-dev:i386 libxtst-dev libconfig++-dev build-essential qt5-default to it. Check images in my other answer - do you have enabled all software sources? Also I recommend to switch to Main server. – N0rbert May 09 '18 at 18:46

Can you download every single packages and its dependencies, then do sudo dpkg -i *.deb ? (assuming your current directory contains downloaded packages) – Aryo Adhi May 12 '18 at 17:00
