Description

My end goal is to dump a Microsoft MSSQL database from Linux Debian.

I have following the Debian installation guide without success, `apt-get install -f` does not install required dependencies:

```bash
dka@dka:[~]: sudo apt-get install mssql-cli
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
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:
mssql-cli : Depends: libicu52 but it is not installable or
libicu55 but it is not installable or
libicu57 but it is not installable or
libicu60 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

How can I dump a MSSQL server to any format from LINUX?

Thank you.

Research direction

Start with the Debian installation guide and reproduce the reported `apt-get install mssql-cli` failure on Debian buster. Check the listed `libicu52`, `libicu55`, `libicu57`, and `libicu60` dependencies; done means the installation path or its unsupported status is clearly documented, including whether MSSQL dumping is supported.
