Which PPA do you use? Please add details to your question - `apt-cache policy libplayerctl-dev libplayerctl2 gir1.2-playerctl-1.0` . What do you expect from "`sudo apt install -f yadm`" command? What is `yadm`, is it a magic stick?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
