Hello Adrian,


root@ibook-g4:/home/cedar# apt install xserver-xorg-core


Some packages could not be installed ...


...

Unsatisfied dependencies:

xserver-xorg-core: Depends: xserver-common(>= 2:21.1.14-2) but 
2:21.1.14-1 is to be installed.


I am unable to update xserver-common and, correct me if I'm wrong, 
therefore cannot start a graphical environment.
