Missing dependency: libgcc-s1

Running LTS Mint and can not update to the latest Opera due to missing dependency, to wit libgcc-s1 less than 3.0. Attempting to install libgcc-s1_10.3.0-1ubuntu1_20.04_amd64 .deb runs into another dependency. The solution here, obviously, is to remove Opera. I'll miss it. Maybe they'll fix it.
I can wait and see. Otherwise, switch to Vivaldi or Brave.

Perhaps something got removed previously which is throwing a spanner in the works.

I checked my LTS based on Ubuntu 20.04 in Synaptic. There are 4 packages installed.

libgcc-s1
libgcc-s1:i386
libgcc-9-dev
libgcc1

Perhaps you can use Synaptic to install whatever packages you need. I only use a .deb package when it's not in Synaptic.

@john-53 - Synaptic shows no results for libgcc-s or libgcc-9. Of the 4 you indicate, only libgcc1 appears, and that is as installed.

@styen - An alternative to *.deb is canonical's snap installer. Like the rpm installer, this possibility has to be found somewhere on Opera's website. Although snap is forbidden by default in Mint 20, I'm running an earlier LTS version which hasn't got it but permitted installation of snap and then download and installation of Opera via snap installer:
https://snapcraft.io/opera
https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snap-on-linux-mint
Installing snap had to occur before the Opera install, which now has no missing dependencies.

@jimmy704 - I noticed that snap installed Opera 89.0.4447.71 lingers at launch. It doesn't come up as quickly as the unupdateable version it replaced. The Brave browser is quicker.
