I'm encountering this issue when installing macOS gtk themes like MacTahoe and WhiteSur gtk themes:

Oops! Operation failed...

Seems like the issue is in the core version, pro version seems ok

I found the same error report on github for ubuntu 22.04:

You could try to put the theme manually into your themes folder.

I had no problems to install those both mac themes few days ago on Zorin 18 core with the installer script.

Did you have problems with your package manager before with broken packages?

Here is a help site with some commands that you could try. Be careful.what is shown that will be removed:

Welcome to the Forum!

Is this the whole Output when You install the Theme? If not, it would be good to post everything beginning with the Command for Installation.

And could You post the Output of sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade please?

I think I've pinpointed the issue, it's about the libglib2.0-0t64, Zorin installed the latest 2.80.0-6ubuntu3.5 but the libglib2.0-dev-bin depends on the 2.80.0-6ubuntu3.4

Yes, it's an annoying change made by Canonical. I can't install Brailleblaster, a free Braille Translation program that has been geared towards Ubuntu. You could always dual boot Zorin with Q4OS which has a Look Switcher that includes a light and dark MacOS theme called FutureOS.
