Hello. It seems that this is the core issue here:

 libsdl2-2.0-0 : Breaks: libsdl2-2.0-0:armhf (!= 2.26.3+1rpi) but 2.26.5+dfsg-1 is installed
 libsdl2-2.0-0:armhf : Breaks: libsdl2-2.0-0 (!= 2.26.5+dfsg-1) but 2.26.3+1rpi is installed
 libsdl2-dev : Depends: libsdl2-2.0-0 (= 2.26.5+dfsg-1) but 2.26.3+1rpi is installed

You have 64-bit and 32-bit versions of these sdl packages installed at the same time. Pi-Apps did this and this is usually fine to do. Here's a screenshot of both installed at the same time on my system:

But on your system, for whatever reason, the 64-bit package is version 2.26.5+dfsg-1 and the 32-bit package is version 2.26.3+1rpi. Not sure why.

Please run sudo apt update, then send me the output of this command:

apt policy libsdl2-2.0-0:armhf

This command should show if the correct 2.26.5+dfsg-1 version is available but not yet installed for the 32-bit package.

from pi-apps.

Yeah the output was

~ $ apt policy libsdl2-2.0-0:armhf
libsdl2-2.0-0:armhf:
 Installed: 2.26.5+dfsg-1
 Candidate: 2.26.5+dfsg-1
 Version table:
*** 2.26.5+dfsg-1 500

Try this: sudo apt --fix-broken install -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite"

from pi-apps.

It worked Thanks. :)

Hey @Pro42good, in a popup dialog, did pi-apps say this to you?

You have overwritten system files which prevent packages that share files from being able to install.

It should not have said that, but I just need to make sure.

from pi-apps.

It said something about a system error, not anything about overwritten system files.

from pi-apps.

OK I have added a little fix to hopefully suggest the right repair command to anyone who encounters this error in the future.
