Description
## Feature
Hello, I had recently spent a grueling 1 hour and 20 minutes attempting to build Canvas on my Raspberry Pi 4 with Debian.
I believe there is not enough information or notice on the Installation wiki for ARM systems, the issue was that I had packages that were too new for the installation of the packages required for compiling:
```
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:
... : Depends: ... (= ...) but ... is to be installed
... : Depends: ... (= ...) but ... is to be installed
... : Depends: ... (= ...) but ... is to be installed
... : Depends: ... (= ...) but ... is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
```
I feel like there should be a warning for a situation like this if a newbie comes into the same exact issue as I encountered, I believe it would cut down on the amount of issue related to installation issues as well.
Many thanks.
