Hi to all,
I have Zorin Zorin OS 16.1
I try to install ACR122U an USB NFC Reader.
I chose it because in the forums I red, it was recommended to be the device supported in Linux almost as-is, but i run into problems
I try to follow this guide
https://www.jamesridgway.co.uk/install-acr122u-drivers-on-linux-mint-and-kubuntu/
but I stop at the first line If I run the first command indicated I get errors in dependencies
sudo apt-get install pcscd pcsc-tools
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
cie-middleware : Depends: pcscd but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libccid but it is not going to be installed
pcsc-tools : Depends: libpcsc-perl but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
It seems dependent from pcdcd, but when I try to install iI get an other dependency...
sudo apt-get install pcscd

... with libccid. if I try to install it, I get the dependecy with pcdcd again... so it is in circles!! So I am blocked

I also checked the Product drivers ReadMe that I downloaded: they indicated these dependecies
To build acsccid, you need the following software indicates these softwares:
Linux
- pcsclite 1.8.3 or above
- libusb 1.0.9 or above
- flex
- perl
- pkg-config
But also here I am not able to install perl for example ... same pcsdc dependency
sudo apt-get install perl

perl is already the newest version (5.30.0-9ubuntu0.2).
perl set to manually installed.

Does someone have any idea of what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
