Hello
I’ve got the same problem, but I am running Jessie.
sudo apt install pisound
Similar output to above:

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Digging a bit further, tried to install pisound-btn:
sudo apt install pisound-btn

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
pisound-btn : Depends: python-urwid (>= 1.3) but 1.2.1-2 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
So there seems to be a dependency on python-urwind >= 1.3 and I have 1.2 installed.
apt-cache policy python-urwid
Output:
python-urwid:
Installed: 1.2.1-2
Candidate: 1.2.1-2
Version table:
*** 1.2.1-2 0
500 http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie/main armhf Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
I don’t appear to have 1.3 available. Maybe there’s a dependency here on Stretch?
Seems so:
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=python-urwid
Doesn’t look like I can get this package on Jessie via backports either. Any ideas, other than upgrading to Stretch (which isn’t an option for me)?
