I was trying to install Tev(https://github.com/Tom94/tev) on my Laptop but when I ran the command
sudo apt-get install cmake xorg-dev libglu1-mesa-dev zlib1g-dev zenity
I got an weird error

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xorg-dev : Depends: xserver-xorg-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
then I updated and upgraded apt which did nothing.
then I tried
dpkg --get-selections | grep hold
and
sudo apt-get autoremove
which also did nothing.
Then I tryed to install everything manually.
sudo apt-get -y install xserver-xorg-dev
