The libcec-dev package wants a particular version of libcec6 installed.

This is most likely because you have a few different package sources enabled and maybe one needs to be disabled, or maybe one needs to have a different priority applied to it.<br>
<br>
First I would try<br>
<br>
apt update<br>
apt-cache policy libcec-dev<br>
apt-cache policy libcec6<br>
<br>
to see what versions you hava available and installed.<br>
<br>
Then I would try<br>
<br>
apt install --dry-run libcec-dev<br>
<br>
to see if that gives any more detailed information<br>
This won't do anything but will do a dry-run through the process.<br><br>
