OK, error message:

Could not apply changes.
Fix broken packages first.

But I fixed it by apt --fix-broken install.
Or did I do something wrong?

Yes, I have tried it but no success.

As I did mention I use several distros, not only Debian Testing. Let's take Peppermint, I use it also, and absolutely no problem with installng and using Howdy 2.6.1, while it is also bullseye like MX21. The repos are also the same.
I tried it with version 2.5.1 as well, but no success.
