This has been an issue with Synergy's packaging for Linux since almost day one. Easy fix. After you hit that error, run the following:
 

sudo apt-get -f install

That should manually pull in all the dependencies and complete the synergy installation.

This really should be included with the install docs that don't exist. It's been an issue since the first .deb package released.
It's also an easy problem to just fix in the first place.

Debian 8 is currently not a target, primarily due to the old version of Qt 5 available in the default repos. This is something we can probably work on if demand is high, but it's low priority right now.

Currently we build on Ubuntu LTS 16.04 (slightly newer than Jessie) and test on Debian 9 (Stretch), Ubuntu 16.04 and 17.10
