I have a package that I am installing directly from a .deb file by running sudo dpkg -i. After running that, I am presented with the list of unmet dependencies for the package. When I run sudo apt-get install -f to install the dependencies, apt-get instead removes my package without explaining why.
Is there a way to see why apt-get is removing my package instead of installing its dependencies?

I was able to figure out what was going wrong by running apt-get with a debug option:
sudo apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true install -f
This showed why the package was being removed. In my case, apt-get couldn't find a certain dependency in the repositories.

From apt-get manual:
-f, --fix-broken
Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place.
This option, when used with install/remove, can omit any packages to permit APT to deduce a likely solution. If packages are
specified, these have to completely correct the problem.
Apparently the only automatic fix detected is removing your package. You should try to solve the dependencies manually.
