a little thrilled to post for the first time as I've been using Debian for the past year, my favourite distro so far. The problem: I'm working on a JavaScript project which depends on canvas.js library. Surprisingly npm registries stopped providing appropriate binaries some time ago, so the library has to be compiled every time I'm resolving dependencies for the project (running npm install command). Canvas itself depends on Cairo and all the dependencies required for compilation can be found on the Github wiki page:
https://github.com/Automattic/node-canv ... ed-systems
I can't install one of them: libcairo2-dev
This is what happens:

$ sudo apt install libcairo2-dev
