I have come across this grave bug as well.

I have a Debian sid suite in my desktop machine, regularly updated every
other week.

If I try:

# apt install libgcc-8-dev

I get:

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:
 libgcc-8-dev : Depends: libgcc-s1 (>= 1:8.4.0-2) but 10-20200324-1 is to
be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

PS: I noticed this after a full-upgrade, when my former fully functional
RStudio program no longer worked.
i downloaded its official deb package from RStudio site and it was unable
to install, stating that it had
dependency problems with libgclang-dev. I tracked down the problem up to
libgcc-s1.
