Description

I have listed a few commands and their responses on the recent Raspbian.

>>> sudo apt install libcamera0.5 libmosquitto1 pulseaudio libavformat59 libswscale6 libprotobuf32
Note, selecting 'libprotobuf32t64' instead of 'libprotobuf32'
Package libavformat59 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Package libswscale6 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
