First off, i'm very new to linux, using it for whole 2 days now.

I'm trying to build an app with QT Creator but I can't use the c++ compiler since it doesn't want to Install.

I Tried installing the build-essential package to use QT properly, these packages installed without any problems:

  1. dpkg-dev
  2. gcc
  3. make

Though libc6 and g++ didn't so I tried installing all their dependencies and it throws me into a weird loop where it says that libc6 is installed.

This is the order I tried to install the package:

:~$ sudo apt install build-essential

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:
 build-essential : Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed or
                            libc-dev
                   Depends: g++ (>= 4:7.2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.```




:~$ sudo apt install libc-dev

libc6 is already the newest version (2.28-0ubuntu1+zorin4).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Now bear In mind that I'm a total noob at linux, so any help would be appreciated.
