First, run "sudo apt update"

Afterwards, run the command seen in the screenshot (sudo apt --fix-broken install)

Lastly, the bettercap package is "bettercap", not "Bettercap". Try running "sudo apt install bettercap" after running the previously mentioned commands.

The cause of your issue is due to leafpad, as seen in the image. If those steps didn't fix the problem for you, try "sudo apt reinstall leafpad" or "sudo apt remove leafpad && sudo apt install leafpad" as an attempt to fix that.

Usually, "sudo apt --fix-broken install" should fix the missing/broken dependency.

I just confirmed that nothing causes an issue for me (whether I am installing leafpad or bettercap).

Please try the 2 proposed solutions.

@Arszilla If you don't mind, please see this error when I do like what you told me to do:
Package 'leafpad' has no installation candidate

Leafpad stopped being developed in 2010.... and was removed from Debian in 2019... so it is no longer available. mousepad is the text editor you should be using. I'm not sure where you got your leafpad package from, but it is gone now, so again, you should be using mousepad, not leafpad, and package names are almost always lower case. This is not a bug so closing.
