I don't think this is exactly the same as
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-
center/+bug/1762256 because when I try installing the tree of
dependencies I get slightly different errors...
$ sudo apt install colord

Title:
gnome-control-center won't install: Depends: colord (>= 0.1.30)
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
This bug looks similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/gnome-control-center/+bug/1762256.
I noticed Settings has gone missing from my ubuntu 18.04. When I click
on the spanner icon under the power icon in the top right nothing
appears to happen. Attempting to install it fails with:
$ sudo apt install gnome-control-center

This may have come about as a side-effect of trying to install simple-
scan. I raised a question about that at
https://askubuntu.com/q/1108407/103266 but it never got fixed. I
couldn't resolve the error "Unable to correct problems, you have held
broken packages". Any suggestions welcome, please.
