Dependency errors while installing SDL2

Question

I want use SDL2 in my project. For that I need lib and include SDL2 files. I was trying to install SDL2 with

apt-get install libsdl2-dev

but get an errors:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libpulse-dev : Depends: libpulse0 (= 1:14.2-1ubuntu1) but 1:14.2-1ubuntu1.1 is to be installed
                Depends: libpulse-mainloop-glib0 (= 1:14.2-1ubuntu1) but 1:14.2-1ubuntu1.1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

How I can fix it?

In my question, I wrote that I want to install which command I do it and gave an error log. Please tell me what exactly is not clear to you. — mejay48, Oct 20 '21 at 13:54
@mejay48 Try this sudo sed -i.bak 's/\(^deb.*-updates.*\)/#\1/' /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt install libsdl2-dev. — Liso, Oct 20 '21 at 13:58
It seems updates channel prompt you to install 1:14.2-1ubuntu1.1 version, hence why i try disabling it. I could be wrong though, you can try apt-get -s install libsdl2-dev to simulate the process before actually running them. — Liso, Oct 20 '21 at 14:01
Thanks for trying, but it does not help me. with your command line I got exacly same errors. — mejay48, Oct 20 '21 at 14:20
Minor version errors like this usually occur because the package catalog needs to be updated (sudo apt update) — steeldriver, Oct 20 '21 at 14:34
Does this answer your question? How do I restore the default repositories? — N0rbert, Oct 20 '21 at 21:17

So, I can't find a reason of errors of sdl2 package, but manual compilation from source helps me install it (./configure, sudo make install).
