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:
 opera-stable : Depends: libgcc-s1 (>= 3.0) but it is not installable
                Recommends: pepperflashplugin-nonfree but it is not going to be installed
                Recommends: chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
themanjay@hostname:~$ sudo apt install libgcc-s1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package libgcc-s1 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

E: Package 'libgcc-s1' has no installation candidate
themanjay@hostname:~$

Yes I'm aware I could install a snap package and do not care at this time to do so.

@themanjay The Recommends will be ignored if not available, it is only that one Depends which is blocking it (and honestly I don't know why they would recommend Flash when Chromium no longer supports it). Not familiar with Debian based distros myself as my distro uses RPM, but wanted to make sure that much was clear.

@sgunhouse yes I am aware the recommends will be ignored if not available. debian buster (which is still supported) uses gcc 8 by default. That package is available in debian bullseye the latest release with gcc 10. I do not know if any additional features added with Opera version 88 can be compiled to run with gcc 8 libraries,

Debian Buster 10 will drop normal support in July. It's probably time to upgrade to Bullseye 11.

I had the same thing happening with Linux Mint 17 a few years ago before it reached EOL.

Same issue on Ubuntu 18 (Bionic) which is still actively maintained until next year.
Any way to work around this issue except using snap?

Hello! Following worked for me:
Download and install one by one the packages gcc-10-base and libgcc-s1, after that upgrade to Opera 88 works.

@jimmy704 I tried this solution, but when i try to install kibgcc-s1 i got:

 "pkg: acerca de libgcc-s1_10.2.1-6_amd64.deb contendo libgcc-s1:amd64:
 libgcc-s1 quebra cryptsetup-initramfs (<< 2:2.2.2-3~)
  cryptsetup-initramfs (versão 2:2.1.0-5+deb10u2) está presente e instalado.

dpkg: erro ao processar o arquivo libgcc-s1_10.2.1-6_amd64.deb (--install):
 instalando libgcc-s1:amd64 quebrará cryptsetup-initramfs, e
 a desconfiguração não é permitida (--auto-deconfigure poderá ajudar)

@miquelin Sorry, i can not help you with this problem with this combination of libgcc-s1 an cryptsetup.
I did not have this error message.
I would Not recommend to remove cryptsetup if you have encrypted filesystems.
