Issue description
After a fresh installation of Parrot Sec v4.10, I’m trying to install libqtcore4 using the command sudo apt install libqtcore4. The thing is, to install this package, apt tries to remove many other packages that are necessary for the OS to work (e.g., multiple graphical interface related packages). Here is the output I get from sudo apt install libqtcore4:

Abort.
You may notice that many packets are said to be “no longer required” and it is suggested to use autoremove to remove them. However, these packets are absolutely necessary for the OS (e.g. network manager), plus they are actually not listed when I run sudo apt autoremove.
This is very similar to this issue, but the suggested solution (using aptitude) does not work either. After some research, I found out that this may come from dependency issues between libcoreqt4 and the installed package libqt5core5a. I do want to keep qt5 installed though.
Note that I also tried to install libqtcore4 from a .deb file but I get the same problem.
Can you please help me install libqtcore4 while keeping Qt5 and other necessary packages ?
Thanks in advance for your help !
