It looks like I cannot install libgloox-dev. When I try to see what went wrong it might be due to libtasn1-6-dev version number conflict.

Any ideas?

Please check your sources.list seems like you have mixed sources and that is preventing the correct installation.

See 4.13-2+8.0trisquel1 << package from 8.0

Remove/comment all repositories from 8.0

As etiona can install libgloox-dev without issues.

Thank you! This pointed me in the right direction. I found that the following was needed:

$ sudo apt-get install libtasn1-6:amd64=4.13-2

I found other similar packages and "downgraded" them in a similar manner.

I had already verified that only etiona repositories were listed in sources.list prior to these changes, as well.
