I am unable to install git-email on Debian GNU/Linux 9.11 (Stretch). I get the following error. My git version is

$git --version
git version 2.20.1

$sudo apt-get install git-email

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

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 git-email : Depends: git (< 1:2.11.0-.)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

this is git-email and not node.js – kurramkurram D – 2020-02-24T02:32:32.957

The error you are getting is due to unmet dependencies and to solve this you will have to un-hold the packages as suggested in the answer of the linked question – Madhubala – 2020-02-24T02:38:35.883

I can't go backwards to support git-email. – kurramkurram D – 2020-02-24T02:55:01.073
