terminator package

unmet dependencies: terminator : Depends: python-gi-cairo but it is not going to be installed

Asked by JehunKang

I tried to install Terminator on my Jetson Xavier AGX, NRU-110V series, and encountered an issue.

Here are my current OS details:
OS: Linux nvidia-desktop 4.9.253-tegra #4 SMP PREEMPT Thu Dec 16 13:52:46 CST 2021 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
Release: 18.04
Codename: Bionic

The command I used was:
sudo apt-get install terminator

The process returned the following message:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 terminator : Depends: python-gi-cairo but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I cannot use the sudo apt-get upgrade command due to the restrictions of the NRU platform.

How can I fix this issue?
