Build Error: Unmet Dependencies in `cuttlefish-frontend`

Build Error: Unmet Dependencies in cuttlefish-frontend

I went to download Cuttlefish and got this error

Error Description:

During the build process of cuttlefish-frontend, the following issues occurred:

After this operation, 9.216 B disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
(Reading database ... 382106 files and directories currently installed.)

dpkg-buildpackage: warning: build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.)

Issues Encountered:

  1. Dependency Issues:

    • debhelper-compat (= 12) is required but missing.
    • golang (>= 2:1.13~) or golang-1.13 is needed.
    • libprotobuf-dev and protobuf-compiler are also missing.

  2. Build Aborted: The build process is aborted due to unmet dependencies.

System Information:

I can't find any official documentation for installing debhelper-compat (= 12) on ubuntu 18.04 at the moment.

Does anyone have a solution for resolving these unmet dependencies or alternative suggestions to bypass this issue?

I could solve a very similiar issue using the following way:

I followed the official instruction to install bazel, using bazelisk, but this is not the correct approach, when the goal is to use dpkg-buildpackage afterwards.

There is another link in the bazel documentation that explains how to add bazel to the apt repositiries and install it from there:

https://bazel.build/install/ubuntu#install-on-ubuntu

After doing this, your bazel installation should be fine and the cuttlefish will swim.
