Lab 7.5 falco : Depends: dkms (>= 2.1.0.0) but it is not going to be installed

rockhai

An error occured during the Falco installation：
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
falco : Depends: dkms (>= 2.1.0.0) but it is not going to be installed

So I try to found the version conflict by installing the unmet dependencies step by step, but I can't remove 'gcc-8-base' .

Can anyone help me? Thanks !
