Comment 38 for bug 1754886

I just tried to apt-install eclipse on my Linux Mint 19.1 machine, and ran into this problem. The workaround in comment #30 did the trick, but I have to say I agree with @lucasarnaud79: this situation is unacceptable. Managing dependencies is the package maintainer's job, not the user's. The latest update on this thread says "Fix Released", but the problem still seems to be occurring.
